A stunning collection of highly unusual poems by Lyle Novinski, a
renown painter. This collection of poems, written over decades,
will appeal to anyone who loves the celebration of small things,
sensuously felt by the imagination pouring its perception of
places, scents, touch, sounds into the body; world beauty, felt
deeply. For years, Lyle Novinkski took yearly trips to Italy and
Greece, seeing those landscapes and people with ever more acute and
subtle perception. He saw through the artist's eye - open, with
wonder and the ability to completely surrender to whatever was
present, allowing it all to flow into his soul, without prejudice,
judement, or speculation. Then, the matrix of scenes from that year
would remain in memory, fermenting and distilling into poems that
were written - as love poems to his wife as he would go off on
another trip the following year. Each poem gives a sense of a
possible future, present as though it had just been happening. The
writing elevates the world of time, the tapestry of past, present,
and future, now endowed with love. Time intimate, overcoming the
yearly space between him and his beloved. The way into this poetry
is provided by, Glenn Arbery, astute literary and cultural critic.
This introduction is not only instructive, it is in itself a
masterful, creative piece, worthy of savoring slowly. Such a
reading helps one enter the poems with care, with a sense of how to
be with these words in such a way as to allow bodily perception of
what Lyle was seeing. The secret lies in letting yourself become
enveloped in stillness, the true subject, the bright theme
whispering throughout this book. Such poetry educates the soul in
how to move from intense but unruly emotion into the spirit-filled
presence of feeling.
