Reseña del libro "Fifty Poems (en Inglés)"
This first published collection of poems by T. E. Fantl are indicative of his canny encounters of life and its personages in this insightful cross section of encounters, behaviours, philosophy and ... imagination.Fantl writes with descriptive passion and surgical observation. His deliciously personal journeys and characters, (he often being one of them), will take the reader on riveting rides.By profession a visual artist having lived in many countries, his poetic works have, until now, remained very private.The sheer variation included within these works is wide, intriguing and all-encompassing.Fantl's use of language is uniquely seductive, as are the elements of observation, witticism, humour, drama and danger. He writes with a profound passion for words and language, plying a line as he would ply paint from the brush, with the right pressure and intent.Fantl skews convention, as he can, because he has risen from it.He is times colloquial, and always enthusiastic about the subject of each poem.Fantl writes with knowledge and credibility and the selection of poems complement each other as well as being fulfilling for the reader if read as standalone pieces.Poetry lovers, and those new to reading poetry, will enjoy entering and experiencing this collection.
