The second collection of poems from Sara Crawford! In a collection of poems inspired by the Atlanta music scene, Atlanta's own musician/playwright/poet, Sara Crawford (of Pocket the Moon/voted Best Local Vocalist in Creative Loafing's Best of 2011), takes us through a journey of the unappreciated indie musician playing night after night in smoke-filled dive bars all for the love of music. Every poem in this collection references an indie band that has played in Atlanta, specifically at the Drunken Unicorn, The Earl, or the Star Bar. Paying tribute to the entire metro area of Atlanta (OTP and ITP alike!), *Driving Downtown to the Show* serves as a love letter to this growing city and its diverse artists. Now available for order!

Stay tuned for news of my debut Young Adult novel! If you are wondering where I've been/why I am taking a break with music, it is because I have been hard at work on my novel, The Muses. For those of you who are familiar with my play, Painted, it's sort of a spin-off, featuring my personal muses, Vincent and Izabella. The synopsis: 16-year-old musician, Sylvia Baker, has always been able to see Muses—mysterious beings who give artists inspiration—though they seem to be invisible to everyone else. After a near suicide attempt, Sylvia manages to climb out of the darkness of her mind by exploring her own musical abilities with the help of Travis, inspirational guitarist and classmate, and Vincent, the alluring British Muse who becomes Sylvia’s obsession. As she travels further into the world of these immortal beings that influence art, she finds herself in the middle of an epic battle between the modern Earthly Muses and the Original Greek Muses—some of which want her life. Set in suburban Atlanta in present day, Sylvia’s story is a journey of self-discovery told through the lens of a teenage girl finding herself through music and love. This Twilight meets The Perks of Being a Wallflower novel includes thought-provoking themes such as the purpose of art, the negative effects of alcohol and drugs, and crippling depression all while remaining true to the teenage experience with tales of love triangles, high school chorus concerts, and anxiety over driving. Yes, I did describe my book as Twilight meets The Perks of Being a Wallflower! Haha. Stay tuned for more updates on my journey with this novel!
