Rachel Small shares the music that helped inspire her chapbook, Where Do We Go From Here?
As many writers know, music can be just as important of a writing tool as a pen or paper. That is why at Whispering Wick we always love to hear about the music that shaped an author's work. Rachel Small, author of Where Do We Go From Here?, has specially curated a selection of music to go with her chapbook.
So pop in a pair of headphones, turn the volume up, and learn more about Where Do We Go From Here?, a poetry collection about navigating an imperfect society in a decaying world, through the form of music.

About Where Do We Go From Here?
Where Do We Go From Here? Is an exploration of the environment, womanhood, and the shortcomings of our society. With poems covering topics like climate change, the pandemic, capitalism, greed, and so much more, Small creates a poignant and honest portrait of a young woman navigating our imperfect world.
