Green Ivy Grows Over Their Graves, Tra La by Janice D. Soderling (2020) is a collection of received forms, vers libre, and prose poems. The red thread tying them all together is our ultimate shared fate: death.Some poems are in a lighter vein,Consider now the frantic surge of sperm,each rushing blindly, lacking aperçu.How one, a little quicker than the rest,careens into the other half of you.--The Journey while others adopt a more somber bent,Lord, let them be content with solitude.Let the wind move gently over their jutting bones.Croon them to sleep with their old pet names.--The Graveyard at the Ruins of the Monastery)Most of the poems contained here appeared in international literary journals such as Measure, The Literary Bohemian and Mezzo Cammin; some are in print for the first time.This is a volume for poetry lovers to dip into, to return to.
