Passager Books, dedicated to promoting new older writers, announces the release of its new book of poems, A Little Breast Music, by Shirley J. Brewer. A Little Breast Music is the first in a new series, ?Six over Sixty,î beautiful collectibles featuring first books by Passager writers.

A Little Breast Music is Brewer?s book of delights and laments, evidence of a resilient and complicated heart, says Pulitzer Prize winning poet Stephen Dunn.

?I can?t imagine my life without poems,î Brewer says. ?It was through writing poetry that I really got to know myself. I kept diving deeper, a goddess mermaid plumbing her own depths, finding meaning.î

After a thirty-year career as a speech therapist, Brewer changed her life, moved to Baltimore, and earned her M.A. in Creative Writing at the University of Baltimore. She has her own business, Poetic License, in which she creates original, personalized verses for all occasions, writes poetry for businesses and gives workshops which help people embellish their life journeys, and open up to more creative paths.

Brewer?s poems have appeared in Pearl, The Comstock Review, HazMat Review, Calyx, and others. She won first prize in the Maryland Writers? Association annual poetry contest in 2006.
