A Kaleidoscope Wardrobe: Hwyls of a Lifetime

by Angela Bellacosa

Overview

From dictionary.com: hwyl / (ˈhuːɪl) / noun, emotional fervour, as in the recitation of poetry. Ms. Bellacosa wrote this collection of poetry over a period spanning five decades (1966-2013). The poems touch upon diverse subjects ranging from the magic of the holidays through the eyes of a child to the search for identity, from addiction to culture clash, from political oppression to indigenous issues, from friendship to love, and more about love. The subject matter is drawn from the author's observations of human nature, Nature, and animal nature. This poetry collection is truly a 'kaleidoscope wardrobe' of the author's memories of her life and the people, and other creatures, she has chanced to meet. Though only the first poem in this collection has accompanying sheet music, the author hopes that the reader will be able to hear the music that accompanies each poem.
