In the tapestry of our collective consciousness, there exist stories that linger at the fringes, muted by the clamor of daily life. Sounds From Common Wall: An Anthology of Those Who Wait is an exceptional work that amplifies these voices, weaving together a chorus of experiences from those often silenced or overlooked in literary landscapes. Edited by two acclaimed poets, Jac Jemc and Lauren Camp, this anthology is a literary tour de force, shedding light on the untold tales of longing, resilience, and the human spirit's indomitable strength.

The anthology's opening chapter, "Echoes of Unseen Worlds," transports readers into a realm of hidden narratives. Through the kaleidoscope of poetic voices, we encounter characters who exist on the periphery of society, their lives unfolding in the shadows. A homeless man finds solace in the rhythm of the city, while a refugee grapples with the complexities of displacement. Each poem becomes a window into a world rarely seen, revealing the resilience that resides within the most marginalized.

"The Rhythms of Waiting" captures the ethereal essence of anticipation and longing. The poems in this chapter explore the bittersweet symphony of waiting—the anticipation, the uncertainty, and the transformative power it holds. A mother-to-be navigates the labyrinth of emotions as she awaits her child's arrival, while a caregiver finds solace in the quiet moments spent with an elderly loved one. Through its lyrical lines, the anthology invites readers to embrace the beauty and the pain that coexist within the spaces we occupy while waiting.
