Bøger af Christine Vovakes

Winner of the 2018 Blue Light Poetry Prize"Christine Vovakes' I Didn't Mean to Forget is homage to love's spectrum of emotions and impact; it is cinema of the heart. At times raw, 'to open your mouth and share, tongue to tongue.' Beautiful, 'for us to smooth the love rumpled-bed.' Tender, 'then, gently cradling me in your strong arms.' Unwavering, 'loving fiercely through the distance.' Transparent, 'a lover as vivid as this fuchsia.' This collection is a transcript for those who have loved, do love, and will want to love again after reading this book. I Didn't Mean to Forget makes 'the heart flutter."'Christine Vovakes, winner of the 2018 Blue Light Poetry Prize, lives in northern California.
