Sobre IBD

In A Little Souvenir in Poetry, Sislyn Peters selects classic and contemporary favorites from her compilation of poems. This is an intelligently written work, which exposes Peters as a visionary who brings issues to the fore, such as in 'The Stoning,' 'When You Ain’t Got Time,' and 'To A Mother.' She makes full use of figures of speech; the reader is not at a loss for sharp imagery. It is obvious that Peters is a literary artist. Her poems have a musical beat, and are sculpted. They are also engrossing, and cause the reader to become engrossed, pause, soul-search, and smile.

The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....
