Like New Condition SOFTCOVER Book. VESPERS honors the people of the Far North and their harsh yet inherently poetic and colorful surroundings. Manolis’ poems and Ken Kirkby’s paintings uncover deep values and symbols from within the remote and breathtaking Arctic landscape. "It seems to me that anyone reading Manolis new collection of poems, Vespers, might be immediately struck by the mutual staring that goes on between the poet and the immutable eye of God. For it is out of this radiant stream of sensations and deep tangle of truths, that Manolis has crafted images to rise like mercury through the ontological hollows of his existence. This effect is amplified further by his unique style in which associations are threaded in and out of primal depictions of landscapes that pulse and hum with the presence of something beyond human creation. The poems and images come as if from artists empowered to both weep and praise when the days journey is done. And that perhaps is at the core of this collection, an honesty and vulnerability from the heroic soul of a man who has entered the realm of nature expecting nothing less than to be welcomed right round the corner." -Reviewed by Ilya Tourtidis, Poet For more info on MANOLIS, please see: manolisaligizakis.com For more Ken Kirkby Books on GC&C, please see: Search: 3 results found for "KEN KIRKBY" – Gillmore Coins & Collectibles 1st Edition & Signed by Ken KirkbyISBN: 9781926763033GC&C Stock #1971
