"The energy one discovers in Eileen Albrizio's new collect is restless and dynamic, a shape-shifting power the poet harnesses with panache. For Abrizio clearly understands, at a profound level, the relationship between content and form. To say that Albrizio is versatile understates the case: here one finds work in the sonnet, villanelle, pantoum and kyrielle forms, among others, not to mention meters from the ballad measure to terza rima. Poems driven by memory and by imagination reveal the discerning mind of a writer engaged and mesmerized by the great panoply of the human." — Gray Jacobik

5.0 out of 5 stars
Contemporary poetry at its best!,
By Diane Killingly (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rain: Dark as Water in Winter (Paperback)
A true classic. This book is a must for every student, teacher and lover of art and literature. She is a philospher. Her verse-play is a true classic - not experienced since Jean-Paul Sartre. Her poetry, the same. To read Albrizio's work is to understand the human condition. When I read her words I can hear them. Her poetry sings!
