How much can
sound open or
narrow the lens
through which
experience is
filtered? What
sound does
disappointment
make? What
color is a
scream? How can
one sense
represent the
attributes of
another? What
sound does red
lipstick make?
The poems in
Prof. Linda
Jackson’s book
What Yellow
Sounds Like
explore sound
and color and
the magic that
happens when
sound merges or
clashes with
other senses. A
world is created
in the poems
through images
and specific
details that
seek answers to
the most
fundamental
questions of
identity – who
am I and to whom
do I belong.
Through the
poems, listeners
lean in and hear
the sounds
various speakers
make and the
relationship
color,
particularly
yellow, has on
their voices and
experiences.
