Reseña del libro "From an Old Path: Poets Unite Worldwide: Contemporary European Poetry (en Inglés)"
When I sit alone in my apartment, I know I am not alone. I am a multitude! And that's like being in a living poem, not composed by me, but composed of me and all the others. (Daniel Brick) Daniel Brick's words express wonderfully the feeling that comes from being part of this "poetic adventure", while Agatha-Eliza Laposi, in her introduction to this book, invites the readers to imagine that "the words are the codes that allow you to unlock a chest of wonders" -this way: Through poetry, bridges are laid over any kind of obstacles, the nature bows in reverence, all the hearts lay open, mesmerized by each verse, until the last ones are read aloud; thus the whole spectacle of discovery, or even self-discovery, unravels before you. "From an Old Path - Contemporary European Poetry", contains selected poems written by poets from many countries of the 'Old Europe': poets united in a choral song, through their love for poetry and for humankind. The poems are genuine slices of everyday life, represented by their authors in all their hues and shades, in the light but also in darkness, like facets of a many-sided prism, in a three-dimensional projection. The perspective over each poem is a personal one, imbued with the spirit, the beauty and the sincerity of the country where the poet resides, outlining its authenticity. The range of topics is overwhelmingly diverse, and this is also an element that turns the whole reading into an interesting experience and, most likely, an educational moment as well. Enjoy the reading.
