Once upon a time there was a king; the king was in a castle; the castle was in a kingdom; and the kingdom was in the United States of America--hidden, or so the legend of Wessingham has it. POETRY is the second of nine books in the novel WESSINGHAM AWAITS. This is the love story of Lizzie and Henry, child prodigies who befriend each other, grow ever closer, and eventually sing, before the world's most important people "Wessingham Awaits," a song that is at once enchanting and forbidden. The night of their last performance of "Wessingham Awaits," their music teacher is murdered and Lizzie and Henry are forcefully separated. Set at Emory & Henry College, POETRY is Lizzie's quest to make sense of what happened the night of the murder, and what might still happen, through the use of metaphor. Henry may be far away now, but he remains close to Lizzie's heart (
