Paris, art, poetry - they go together so well.
This original collection includes a number of poems on Paris, the Seine, the gargoyles of Notre Dame, the shifting moods of the city and the nostalgia it inspires. A quirky homage to garlic ("Saloon") is followed by a number of poems on great art (Picasso, Renoir, Japanese prints). The collection ends with an elegy to the author's mother.
The works includes traditional forms (sonnets and haiku), short and long free verse and a semi-parody of Wallace Stevens ("Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Gargoyle").
And if you like *listening* to poetry, readings of these poems are also available on CD or as MP3 downloads.
