Publisher Marketing: The poetry of Magda Isanos is a low rumble of thunder as the first drops of rain fall on a secluded pond, inviting an atmosphere in which fairies might appear, in which the dead might rise, and in which the trees themselves might bend to bear witness to our confessions. While these verses are often concerned with nature, with the innocence of small-town life, with the inner life of the poet, the thick, miasmatic air of interwar Europe is ever present between every syllable. This is the most comprehensive volume yet of Magda Isanoss poetry in English, with many of the poems collected within appearing in translations for the first time.
