<\/a>Full-length book of poetry by Lynda McKinney Lambert.
Availabel on Amazon, Smashwords, and all retail booksellers. Kindle, Paperback, e-book.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Star Signs: New and Selected Poems is a marvelous book packed with the most beautifully descriptive poems about a wide variety of different topics that are grouped together under the following four sections which indicate their overarching theme: Lights Across the Sky, Distant Legends & Metaphors, Transmutation of Earthy Elements and Seasons, Days and Years.<\/p>\n
The poet’s use of language is rich and theatrical as is illustrated by the following short extracts:
\n“Accomplishments seem possible
\nbefore dawn
\nconcentric choices are unlimited”<\/p>\n
“The lively sonata of midday skies
\nresponds to the muted notes of night skies.
\nTime is temporal. Immeasurable.”<\/p>\n
“My jewelry box embraces
\nyesterday’s vanishing dreams
\nfavourite obsessions – polished and hidden.”
\nThis quote is from one of my favourite poems in this collection: Sleeping Beauties.<\/p>\n
The poems are mainly written in free verse but there are a number that are pantoums, a form of poetry which makes use of repeating lines throughout the poem. It is composed of a series of quatrains; the second and fourth lines of each stanza are repeated as the first and third lines of the next stanza. I am in awe of the poet’s ability to create poems that form a perfect story using this style of poems. The repeated lines lead effortlessly into the new lines, which support them and continue the flow and rhythm of the words seamlessly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
