<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This book contains poems that Jonas Zdanys published over his 50 years career as a poet.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Jonas Zdanys has published 49 books from 1970 to 2020. This is his 50th published book. The books include his own poetry, translations into English of Lithuanian poetry, and edited anthologies of poetry. He has spent much time in different countries, all of which have influenced his writing, and book reviewers in such divergent places as Ireland, Australia, and Luthuania have praised his poetic craftsmanship and genius as a poet.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Jonas Zdanys is a master lyricist... It is an uncommon joy to find a poet so adept at a variety of poetic forms and linguistic styles, especially while maintaining such an intense, interesting, and beautifully haunted lyricism. World Literature Today</p><p>[The] poems are alluring and brilliant poetic streams of consciousness, ... tie-dyed sunbursts of poetry - often surreal poetic prose structures whose only rule may be that there are truly no rules, but where nothing but lyricism abounds in sentence after unrestrained sentence. Connecticut River Review</p><p>Zdanys joins words into unexpectedly meaningful formations in which the philosophical thought overshadows the beginning of the feeling. His poetry is intellectual and speaks of the beginning of the beginnings of the mortal, a world of mirages where the contours of the visible world disappear. The Vilnius Review (Lithuania)</p><p>Jonas Zdanys' heart and imagination are fully open! His poetry is so attuned; it surpasses song and connects us to the mystery of soul. The Galway Review (Ireland), Máire Holmes, Editor-in-chief</p><p>Zdanys' gifts as a nature poet become immediately apparent as he moves from immediate observation to commentaries on his own emotions...and whilst these poems are in contemporary English, Zdanys moves well beyond the usual mode of American confessional self-absorption...Here the Romantic impulse is fully realized. Azuria (Australia)</p><p>Consistent elegance. A kind of singing that defines metaphor. Stone Country</p><p>Without exception, the poems of Jonas Zdanys are compact and intricate, vivid and subtle. They are the work of a sensitive, acute, precise, and intense poet. Lituanus</p><br>
