Do words,
Or poetry,
For that matter,
Say anything anymore
Or do they merely
Insinuate,
Verbally exaggerate
And philosophically hesitate?
Out, Muse!
Assert yourself -
Vindicate your reputation
Centuries old -
Or sump into your black hole
Of modernity's inadequacy to hold
In words the accentuation
And the acclamation
Of the truth of your obligation.
Open the heart,
Bleed its core,
Kneel in obeisance
To the rack of pain's renascence
In pride, desire, faith and love.
Mary Angela Nangini's poems celebrate the richness of life and love. From the city to cottage-country and the roads in between, Nangini explores the changing seasons of her varied region. (This book will soon be reprinted in hard cover.)
