If you like poetry that informs and enlightens then you’ll like Helene Pilibosian’s History’s Twists: The Armenians.
Pilibosian writes well-crafted technical, if there is such a term, Postmodern poetry. The biggest problem I have with it is that it is “too” Postmodern. I think her poems could stand to be little more formal, considering the subject matter. But you’ll have to read my full review.
Sweet! While I’m not familiar with Pilibosian, I have been dying to find a collection of modern poems that deal with historical/mythological themes. Those are the types of poems that I would eventually like to write, but I would like to have some examples of what is considered acceptable in the current poetry field.
While I’m a little wary of reading it because you mentioned in your review that the collection lacks passion, I’m just going to take the leap and see what it’s all about.
Thanks for the great review!
Cool. That’s why we do reviews. Hope you like it.
