Reseña del libro "I.O.U.: Poems (en Inglés)"
To read the poetry of Wim Coleman is to venture into an intimate realm of humor, whimsy, intelligent flights of fancy, and cautionary tales-all told in a uniquely singular voice. He expertly weaves these pieces together to form a colorful tapestry of human experience enriched by great personal depth. I.O.U. is at once an immersive and expansive work by a master poet at the top of his game. -Rollin Jewett, playwright, poet, songwriter, singer, actorWim Coleman's poetry pulls us into his unique vision, a world of light and dark, giddy with magic and somber with truth-a world of mystery, relatable self-reflection, and a depth of feeling that's all-too-human. He has a masterful assurance with words that can be revisited and savored with deeper meaning, over the passage of time.-Jim Uhls, screenwriter, Fight Club and JumperWhether exquisitely detailing the intricate dismantling of a bedroom dresser by his precocious adopted daughter or chastising the criminal assault of corrupt worldly powers on the integrity of our human experiment, the poetry of Wim Coleman always uncovers the astonishing wonder at the heart of all things human.-Nicholas A. Patricca, playwright, Professor Emeritus at Loyola University ChicagoWim Coleman's new book of prophetic incantations and reflections will take you whirling, drawing from great periods and great literature throughout history and winding you up with new insights into American reality today. You will be surprised and entertained. -Lucina Kathmann, Vice President Emerita, PEN InternationalWim Coleman is a playwright, poet, novelist, and nonfiction writer.
