Gospel Gone Blues

In Gospel Gone Blues, Jimmie Ware speaks directly from her soul to share her poetic truth– thoughts on the human condition alongside an intimate look into her personal life. Employing her talents as an acclaimed spoken word performer, she weaves the raw, the tender, the not-always-pretty side of life with the pulse of jazz and blues as a backdrop for her captivating poems.

These short, thoughtful poems are a wise woman’s recognition that true wisdom comes with scars–and that the light that finds us after the darkest night is most beautiful when seen through the prism of tears.
