Introduced by an essay grounded in extensive research, Melanie Weldon-Soiset reveals that lullabies are not only soothing songs, but also lament, blessing, secret confession, and naming of the way things are. Lullabies speak to a culture's dreams and fears. Diverse in form and topic, these adult lullabies invite the benevolence of safe slumber that is grounded in social justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Melanie Weldon-Soiset\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shanti Arts LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.36d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781971191065\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWeldon-Soiset, Melanie:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Melanie Weldon-Soiset loves the insights she gains through her dreams and poetry practice. As a highly sensitive person (HSP) who prioritizes rest, Melanie has become an accidental expert on sleep masks and a moderately sought-after cat pillow. She is a novice with weighted blankets and welcomes any stories you want to spread about them (comforting or otherwise). Melanie's husband, Brian, tells her that her puns sometimes make him yawn. Her response? You're Welcome! Speaking of weighted layers, Melanie is also a #ChurchToo spiritual abuse survivor and a former pastor for foreigners in Shanghai. She grieves how the prevalent model of leader-as-celebrity breeds narcissism. These experiences (among many) have spurred her love of lullabies. Melanie holds an MFA in poetry from the Naslund-Mann School of Writing and an MDiv from Wesley Theological Seminary. Melanie served as the final Poetry Editor at Geez Magazine. Melanie has deep roots in Georgia, land of Muscogee and Cherokee. She currently lives in Washington, D.C. on Nacotchtank land. Find her in real life biking on Washington, D.C. greenways or napping in her backyard hammock.
