Long Hair Doesn't Last: Poems, Songs, and Sayings of Arlie Shannon (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798375945408)

"Long Hair Doesn't Last" compounds the ideas of Shannon's younger years in a brief read, decorated to her bygone creative standards in the manifestation of poems, songs, and sayings. Much of the themes, however, are no longer inhabited by her interest. Themes such as love, longing, forsakenness, spirituality and paraphysicality are outdated pursuits of her contemporary life. Though these endeavors have waned, releasing their dialectal products out into the ever-changing world symbolizes a cleansed, raw relinquish and renewal; a new life of alternative fulfillments. The brilliant love with nature, pain, music, animals, beauty, and ugly only remain.
