Maestro: Love Sonnets

Autor Roger Armbrust
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 aug 2021 – vârsta ani
Roger Armbrust’s collection of 55 poems represents an extended love song for the world’s great classical composers. Many of the sonnets envision history’s maestros at some phase of their extraordinary lives. A few of the verses are celebrations of life which include a reverent mention of a master. Taken together, they convey the poet’s deep respect for these geniuses and the creative process. In one sonnet, he writes of Mendelssohn:
 
Sense of presence leading to reverence,
not so much awaking as reverie
evolving to understanding, essence
of living within all.
 
Armbrust conveys this mood of reverence, reverie, and understanding throughout this collection.

Extras

CHOPIN AND GEORGE SAND
 
 That Nohant summer away from Paris,
gentle breeze calming the maestro’s scarred lungs,
filled them both with melody and rarest
colors. Hearing voices within, he plunged
into his Polonaise. She started her
book Consuelo, based on their friend Pauline.
Later she wrote how he wept, complainer
and endless editor while composing.
Delacroix painted their joint portrait, spoke
of seeking both color and form as one.
Frederic nodded. Next morning, he woke
to storms of coughing. Called out. Feared her gone.
She moved close to him, calmed his false alarm,
enclosing his graying form in her arms.

Recenzii

"Roger Armbrust’s contemporary sonnets plunge right to the core both of the matter and the reader. These accessible sonnets create an immediate resonance within, bringing this poetic form to the everyday reader and begging each one to be read over and over again."
 

“I have known and admired Roger Armbrust’s poetry for many years. When Roger met the sonnet, he quickly turned it into a window on his rich and varied world.  Some of his sonnets are delicate, yet they often display muscular rhythms and playful times ... but he knows when they need to be just that."

"This bobbing, weaving, trembling, shaking collection is long overdue!”
