Muted Muse

What do you write about when words won't come easy?The Muted Muse explores the space between the creative urge and writer's block. In her first standalone chapbook of poetry, Jocelyne Smallian-Khan quiets the "e;lizard brain"e; of self-doubt, rejecting imposter syndrome, and facing the void of the blank page head on.This little collection offers a variety of poetic forms to enjoy: short poems; haiku, free verse, humorous poems, confessional poetry, and declarations of self-deprecation and self-affirmation.
