Synopsis
Magenta is the popping of party choral like music too loud to talk through
and too low to hear through,
a beat carried through
not just air but
bodies compacted together.
The Sound of Color by Wesley R. Bishop is a short collection that moves like music through memory, synesthesia, and the rhythm of short poetic forms. Each poem is titled after a color, and each color arrives with its own texture, scent, sound, weight. “Blue is melodious static,” “Red is volume,” and “White is the wheezing of grandfather in hospice.” Bishop’s gift is in the quiet pressure of language, the way meaning emerges not through statement but sensation. A poet, historian, and editor living in northern Alabama, Bishop is the founding and managing editor of North Meridian Press. In this compact, striking chapbook, the ordinary becomes orchestral. The edges glow. Nothing is still, not even black.
