REMEDIES
"...a rich selection of work by a generous-spirited poet."
"Whether decrying the cruelties and injustices of the world or, much more frequently celebrating its beauties and triumphs, Arn Strasser´s lean, elegant poems are marked by precise observation and quiet authority. Here are tributes to artists ("Poem to Lorca", "Indigo") and to nature ("Flowering Quince in Bloom"), tender love poems ("Perhaps", "The Wanderings") and imaginative extravaganzas ("Breakfast with Death", "Roman Holiday"), a rich selection of work by a generous-spirited poet."
MICHAEL PALMA, author of Begin the Gladness and translator of Dante´s
Inferno.
