Beautiful, searing poems,
By A Customer
This review is from: Warscape, with Lovers (CSU Poetry Series) (CSU Poetry Series) (CSU Poetry Series) (CSU Poetry Series) (Paperback)
WARSCAPE WITH LOVERS is one of my favorite books of poetry. Each poem is a gem--reflecting the author's deep empathy for humanity while revealing sometimes shocking and horrifying crimes against civilians and families in wartorn nations. Marilyn Krysl, in addition to her writing, is a peace activist, and her desire to show the senselessness of war is apparent in each poem. Beyond the political, her works are also incredibly beautiful--sensual, lyrical, at times humorous, always unforgettable. Some of my favorite poems were written about Krysl's work with Mother Teresa's Calcutta clinic for the dying. They are breathtaking works of art as Krysl gives dignity to even the poorest of the poor, and makes vivid the nuns whose work inspires her. This is not a religious book, but it does transcend the normal boundaries between the physical and spiritual world. For creative writers, I especially recommend this book, as its crystalline lyricism and precise imagery is indeed inspirational and something we all can aspire to.
