I was recently blessed
to read Dean Kostos’ upcoming poetry collection. Here’s a blurb:
To bring a poem
into the world is to bring the world into a poem. Dean Kostos achieves this
marvelous result with well-wrought poems in Pierced
by Night-Colored Threads, and it’s all the more welcome because the
presented worlds are varied. His poems shall linger in the readers’ memories,
such the poem “Unforgotten” which begins, “A child steps from a silhouette of
fire, / pleating paper into egrets of flame.” and aptly ends, / “Dean pleats his ashes into a boy / who
emerges, bearing the debt of flame.”
By the way, for blurb
geeks, I keep track of my blurbs HERE (scroll down).
Speaking of publications,
here's my latest Relished
W(h)ines update of recently imbibed books and wines. As ever, please
note that in the Publications section, if you see an asterisk before the title,
that means a review copy is available for Galatea Resurrects!
More info on that HERE.
