Reseña del libro "Termites Amidst the Milky Way (en Inglés)"
"I have enjoyed the work of Carolyn Srygley-Moore (aka C Leigh Srygley) for some time now, so I am pleased to write a few words about their new book, Termites Amidst the Milky Way, due to be released late November 2022. Throughout this new collection you will find C Leigh Srygley in firm control as each poem challenges us with complexity in form, rhythm, and content. What we may have considered the commonplace - matchbox toys, dolls, bicycles, bridges, house chores, sea shells, etc are used to bring us to an unavoidable truth - that now war, violence and terror have become the commonplace of our every day. C Leigh Srygley brings us to these conclusions over and over again through their firm control of context and form. With each read there is something new revealed, something proving that it was futile to think we could anticipate the next twist in the tale. These are poems to be savored and enjoyed for their composition, while the content makes us realize that C Leigh Srygley's dedication "to all resistance to tyranny and to those now living in a state of terror" is in some way applicable to us all. C Leigh Srygley: The only writer I know who can hang your tongue on barbed wire and have you wanting more.- PD Lyons winner 2019 erbacce-press International Poetry Prize."The work of Carolyn Srygley-Moore (a.k.a. C Leigh Srygley) is always essential, unique and revelatory, touching on the things that need to be touched on with a deft hand and a keen observational aptitude. Though I have been a fan of her poetry for many years, I consider this new book, an emotionally powerful poem sequence written in response to the current moral and humanitarian tragedy in Ukraine, her best yet. I heartily recommend it."-John Burroughs, U.S. National Beat Poet Laureate and author of Rattle and Numb: Selected and New Poems."Carolyn Srygley has always been a storyteller whose tales emerge from path and present, often at once, changing shapes like clouds change. She bonds the dream imagery of an Andre Breton with the moral witness of a Czeslaw Milosz - her two luminous masters - to haunt the careful reader with a perfect haunt."-Allen Parmenter, Poet, Activist, Recovery
