Urban Odyssey Francesca Schmidt

Francesca Schmidt was born in Greenville, SC in 1991. She has been writing poetry since childhood. While attending the Fine Arts Center of Greenville in high school, she learned about a strict, poetic structure called the sestina. In "Urban Odyssey," she branches out from her usual format and experiments with free verse poetry. This book is a compilation of sestinas, free verse poems, and short stories addressing a variety of subjects, including adoption, travel, dreams, and autobiographic experiences in writing.
