Whisper Little Voices
A Collection of Poetry & Art.
Whisper Little Voices captures selected poems by Robin Sinclair and pairs them with breathtaking art pieces by Little Boot. Each Little Boot piece, varying in medium, is a reflection of or is inspired by its corresponding poem.
Sinclair guides us through a chilly autumn evening of addiction, betrayal, and a nightmarish desperation to escape the past, leading us into an early morning of passion, lust, love and peace. Boot's various art pieces gorgeously, and at points hauntingly, reflect Sinclair's themes of hope, heartbreak, schizophrenia, self-mutilation, penance, and longing.

"Whisper, Little Voices"
Whisper, little voices
Forces flashes to resurface
Glances at your fingertips
Reminders of your aching hands
Knuckles white and throbbing veins
Little voices don't forget.
Whisper, little voices
Of a nightmare that was real
Seeing someone sit beside you
Softly speaking, but not there.
Drunken stumble, bleeding chest
Little voices don't forget.
Whisper, little voices
Of a girl who told a lie
Echos lost beneath an overpass
The dead friend in your arms.
Tears of anger, smiling wrath
Little voices don't forget.
Whisper, little voices
Of betrayal and broken hearts
Lies to stitch yourself together
To spare yourself the conversation
There are cuts that always bleed
Little voices don't forget
Whisper, little voices
As you tend to battered flesh
Crawl yourself toward the sunset
Aching for a lover's touch.
Just remember, this is penance,
Just remember, you have earned this,
Just remember, we are with you,
Little voices don't forget.
