REVIEW
“Collected
Poems” including “The Thirsty Fish” & “Latter Days” written &
Illustrated by Constance Black
This is the fourth book
of poetry fromFire & Light Press. The
book is in two parts. “The Thirsty Fish” contains some poems inspired by the
poetry of the great Sufi poet Rumi as translated by Coleman Barks.
“Latter Days” reflects
feelings of aging and reactions to these violent times with its aura of
apocalyptic change.
A long time resident in
Provincetown MA, many of her poems are a response to the beauty of this unique
seaside town at the end of Cape Cod.
“The
poems of Constance Black might also be called meditations.
Deeply introspective, they investigate the
hidden recesses of the soul, its joys and torments, or ponder—and
protest—what is ugly and unjust; their observations on line and color, the
beauties as well as dark forces of nature, at every point leave room for
glimpses of the transcendent. This is
a quiet book, full of tenderness and intensity, one In which care for the soul
and for the world is suffused with intimations of what is beyond both.
Stanford Pritchard playwright and novelist
