Sofroniou, A: Tree Spirit - Andreas Sofroniou - Bog

CELEBRATING FIFTY-FIVE YEARS OF COMPOSING POETRY.
In this volume Andreas Sofroniou has selected over two hundred of his poems. The verses included in these three hundred pages of the Tree Spirit book have endured time and kept the promise of embracing the philosophical simplicity of the subjects chosen.
This collection of poems shows such versatility that the reader will require time to read the elevated expression of thoughts and feelings.
The author maintains that 'POIESIS', (Poetry) means creation. In this anthology words are used metaphorically, symbolically and with specific meaning. The composition of poetry is an art, where words construct sentences; verses which are based on imagination, facts, and life experiences.
A poem does not have to rhyme and yet it can be a stanza, a canto to a loved one, an ode to a hero, a sarcastic remark to emphasise the importance of a point made, an elegy composed to explain feelings arranged as a work of art.
