Greylight is the light in the morning before the sun has come up. This book of poetry is for anyone who has experienced the rush of Grand Central and the quietness of nature, or relationships that slip through your hands like sand. It is not for the faint at heart, as real life has also played a role in my poetry. It is modern, funny and thoughtful. Greylight is a collection of twenty two of my favorite poems accented by the colors of a dozen pieces of my own hand-painted artwork. These poems span the full range of the last 20 years, and cover a wide spectrum of topics. This is my first book in print, filling 72 pages of full-color interior. I have been a writer since the early 1990's when I performed my first open mic in the high school talent show. If you like my work and would like to follow me on a regular basis you're welcome to check out my WordPress blog: cecilieroaldset.com, where I write about my daily struggles and my future goals. In the age of pictures and Instagram it's more important to me that the words I write carry weight, not just pretty pictures. I would like to thank all those who have stood by me in the last two decades and those who have given me inspiration. My canvas is words that tell a story, I hope you enjoy mine. Best, - Cecilie E Roaldset
