“I am such a fan of Vocab’s powerful voice and visions.”
-Naomi Shihab Nye, Poetry Foundation’s Young People’s Poet Laureate
“When you enter this temple of rhythm Vocab has so masterfully constructed, you best bring your dancing shoes. She has perfected a style of free-verse that tours through the senses like a band: beating like a drum, wailing like a trumpet, thumping like a bass, casting a spell only the truest jazz artists can conjure.” -Charles “EasyLee” Peters
“Andrea “Vocab” Sanderson is the “remix” and the mystery; the “edible melody” and the bass thump; the original and the new version of her own profound song. Rhythm and sound, “4 beats to a measure,” read these poems for they will answer you in music.”
-Octavio Quintanilla, San Antonio Poet Laureate, 2018-2020
She Lives In Music is a nourishing of the soul, spirit and mind collection by Andrea “Vocab” Sanderson. You can’t help but tap your feet and groove with the elements in the brave but confident voice of Vocab. With some Parliament riffs, melancholic blues, jazz comes at you with a bop to give you that elixir. Don’t sleep on this collection, let it breathe into you.
