Author Hope Gregory's New Audiobook, "Big Auntie’s Pearls: A Choreo-Novel," Combines Poetry, Dance, Music, and Song to Create a Rich Tapestry of One Woman's Life
Recent audiobook release “Big Auntie’s Pearls: A Choreo-Novel,” from Audiobook Network author Hope Gregory, is a compelling novel that incorporates the unique storytelling technique of "Choreopoem" to weave an intricate and fascinating story of a young woman, whose talent for sewing carries her through each stage of her life, resulting in her admittance into Savannah’s College by the Sea.
New York, NY, September 13, 2023 --(PR.com)-- Hope Gregory, who currently resides in Southwest Georgia and a veteran of the United States Army, and holds a degree in piano performance, has completed her new audiobook, “Big Auntie’s Pearls: A Choreo-Novel”: a historical fiction inspired by oral and documented history, exploring the life and times of a young woman whose incredible talents help to guide her journey through life.
“The Choreo-novel, ‘Big Auntie’s Pearls’ is my attempt to expand upon form of dramatic expression known as ‘Choreopoem,’ which combines poetry, dance, music, and song,” writes Hope. “This term was first coined by the Great Ntozake Shange in her usage of traditional African American storytelling in entertaining and for teaching. My story with its implied plot uses theme elements with specific characters to hopefully create an emotional response from readers or from its listeners. My story uses nontraditional spelling and vernacular written in Concert format with each chapter called an Opus with three different movements as found in a Sonata or acts of an opera or a ballet. The four Opuses are infused with Intermezzo written in three-quarters time giving those of us with short attention spans maybe a twelve-hour read or only an hour for a movement.”
