In the Land of Myth
Description
This is a new collection of poems by the author of In the Twilight and his novel Purgatorio.
These verses hark back to the golden dawn of a flowering Greece, to celebrate a unity of nature, to give rein to our spiritual yearnings and sense of discovery, letting the divine minstrel, Orpheus, enchant us with the euphoric strains of his hymns, allow us to imagine the hypnotic effect of the sounding of his harp and make us long ever more ardently for this wondrous land of sagacity and myth.
Quotes from the Online Book Club (www.OnlineBookClub.org) that reviewed my previous book of poems entitled In the Twilight:
"The central themes of this collection are reflection and love into a bygone era, filled with drama, celebration, and a hint of tragedy."
"I treasure poetry chiefly as it teaches us to express emotion, deep feelings, and appreciate the beauty around us. The poems in the book do not disappoint . . ."
"The author of In The Land of Myth employs engrossing poetry to transport the reader to the classical age. From observing the waves of the Aegean Seashore to listening to the murmurs of the trees, every scene is painted perfectly to invite a corresponding mood. I rate the book 5 out of 5 stars." - Kibetious, reviewer from OnlineBookClub
