Bøger af Vilma Olsvary Ginzberg

In her sixth book of poetry, Vilma Olsvary Ginzberg marvels about the joys and the pains of reaching her tenth decade, the random cruelty and capriciousness of the wildfires that ravaged Sonoma County, California, and speaks of and to family and close friends as only her poetry can.

Thank God that octogenarian Vilma Ginzberg cannot help herself. She must 'make noise, ' and once again does so insistently, angrily, touchingly, and beautifully in her latest poetry collection unsurprisingly titled making noise. Every poem that Ms. Ginzberg writes truly embodies the woman she is now, the product of her long life as a psychologist, activist, and all around feisty but loving human being. However, it's not enough for Vilma Ginzberg to look back and reflect on politics, sounds, loves, and music, she goes a step beyond and looks forward to her own death in a movingly provocative poem. You can hear Vilma's voice clearly in every poem. There's a gutsiness in the political poems, a bright singing in the poems about writing and creation, a rich solemnity in the poems that honor the memory of creators, poets, musicians, friends, and her own life's work-all part of the celebration reflected in the explosion of color and light chosen for the book's opening image. A very enjoyable read from start to finish.
