Following the advice of a community college music instructor, Kari Wergeland began taking voice lessons with a respected teacher at the age of 24. After roughly two years of study, with dubious results, she decided to stop singing. She began working as a librarian and eventually turned to writing newspaper articles, fiction, and poetry. Twenty years later, and on something of a whim, Wergeland enrolled in a workshop called The Natural Singer, with vocal coach Claude Stein. Inspired to resume voice lessons, it wasn’t long before she discovered her singing had changed. Voice Break is a long poem of possibility that tells the story of the author’s voice. Within this text, a shorter poem titled, The Next Mountain a Riddle, becomes a key to the entire piece. Can you guess the answer?
Voice Break Kari Wergeland 9781466495586 Books
This self-reflective poem merges Wergeland's singing and writing life into a work that reveals her struggle to evolve on many levels. She explores how it's we ourselves who hold ourselves back - from singing, writing, loving, and even living, up to our full potential. Here Wergeland explores her blocks - and strives for insight to overcome them - or maybe just to give herself a break instead. (Most of us are too hard on ourselves). The result is a poem of many layers and some small triumphs.Product details

Voice Break Kari Wergeland 9781466495586 Books Reviews
*Voice Break* is the story of Kari Wergeland's singing career, from her early failed attempts at song to her more successful attempts some twenty years later. It is told as a series of poems, checking in at various points along the way, as she struggles to gain control over her voice and get over her fears of singing.
I enjoyed the poems in this book, though it reads very quickly and is over with before you know it, and it was interesting learning about the problems Ms. Wergeland had in learning how to sing. I have never taken voice lessons and have no idea what's involved, so this was a learning experience for me and was quite enjoyable. The book consists of about a dozen short poems and several much longer poems that tell the story of Ms. Wergeland's voice lessons. I thought the poetry of this book was average, which is why I gave it three stars. There is no gripping imagery such as you find with Martin Espada and no amusing ranting such as you find in Robert Bly, the poems are basically prose poems telling a story, and as such they're rather plain. I thought the story of Ms. Wergeland's learning to sing was interesting and for me a novelty, but she could use more startling imagery and metaphor and simile in her work. However, if you've an interest in singing, or are just into a personal memoir about a woman's life, this book represents a pleasurable reading experience. Take it for what it is, and it is enjoyable.
I found the book to be interesting, well written and thoughtful. The author and poet shared her journey about her feelings and experiences openly and honestly.
