Editorial Reviews

Product Description
In Small Gods of Grief Laure-Anne Bosselaar looks at the lives of other people, both in themselves and through the lens of her own wondrous and painful childhood. Her poems hold up mirrors for us, challenge us to be more tolerant of each other, as we find reflections of ourselves in ambitious European businessmen, aimless American street people, even a "trinity" of rats. Ms. Bosselaar mixes imaginative lyrics, narratives and dramatic monologues in offering this empathetic account of what it means to be human.

About the Author
A native of Belgium, Laure-Anne Bosselaar has lived throughout Europe and The United States. Fluent in four languages, she has worked for Belgian and Luxembourg radio and television stations. In addition to writing her own poetry, she is an editor of poetry anthologies and is translating American poetry into French.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bosselaar strikes again!, February 1, 2002
By A Customer
Laure-Anne Bosselaar, made quite a dent with her first book, THE HOUR BETWEEN DOG AND WOLF, which went into second and third printings. She has followed it up with a second collection of poems every bit as robust and appealing as her first. Bosselaar, a Belgian import writing in American English, is living proof that poetic rigor and heartfelt passion can get along just fine together. Some would argue that the two, in fact, NEED to be together. The fact that she opens her head and heart so compellingly, in a non-native language, is all the more impressive.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Beauty, November 15, 2001
By A Customer
What a joy to discover a new poet! This book delights on all levels. Her poetry is intelligent, sensual, practical and mystical. These treasures will bring many "aha" moments and this is one to keep in the car to refresh you throughout the day. She lives the same life we all live, but hers is deeply infused with poetics. Read this book and your days will be, too.
