The Sound of Loneliness: Poem Fragments Pamela Preston

This little book of poem fragments is dedicated to the androgynous poet Sappho, whose legend and verse became real to a poet in the Maine winter of 2012 AD. ?A diaphanous and yet keenly visceral work of art?between sadness and desire, this poetic sequence makes wholeness of fragmentation. Such a strong juxtaposition: the fragments of an ancient poet - and the deconstruction of a life in the present. The poet puts the trauma of today in mythic perspective. With ?The Sound of Loneliness? you listen for life's meaning. Truth answers in sorrow - beauty with wonder.? --A. A. Attanasio, author of Centuries
