Per Quindecim

By Linda Imbler

Poet Linda Imbler’s ninth collection contains images of the best and the worst of humanity: stories of love, death, justice, betrayal, friendship, sorrow, and courage.  Here are many essential concepts succinctly related in 15 lines or less.  Although the compositions are brief and concise, as one reads the lines, the poet’s really big ideas explode off the page, leaving the reader with those relatable a-ha moments that are so satisfying to the psyche.

 There is an array of poetic styles here:  elfchens, Haiku, Nonets, Triolets, Etherees, rhyming poems, and free style poems.  This is a delightful book that will be read and reread by poetry lovers and those for whom contemplation is more than a hobby.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

These are short pieces of poetry, as varied as flowers in a large field. I have discovered, as I move my pen, that even a small number of words can express expansive ideas. And, there are some really big ideas being reflected in these poems.

I truly thank Mark Antony Rossi for publishing this work through Soma Publishing.

I thank our beautiful planet for making sure there are always topics to be contemplated through poetry.

I thank my closest friends, present to me throughout my life, for being willing to discuss those big ideas.

I thank my beautiful man for always being a huge support in my efforts to express myself through this media.
