Polyhymnia is a debut collection of poems by Sheena Powell, inspired by beauty, love, and the rhythm of life. Inspired by the Greek goddess Polyhymnia, Sheena Powell’s first published collection of poems is a genuine passion of truth, beauty, and love, drawing inspiration from nature, worldly relationships, and art with music as muse. Polyhymnia is a rhythmic observation of the ebb and flow of life, the elevation of the ordinary, and a tribute to the creative process. The cover of the book features unique artwork by Ashley McDaniels, and photographed by Nick Mathews.

Guests will have a special opportunity to pre-order Polyhymnia at a discount ahead of its official release in October 2026. Pre-orders from Finishing Line Press begin June 8, 2026. The book will be released on October 9, 2026.
