Reseña del libro "Snowbird (en Inglés)"
From Finishing Line Press SNOWBIRD Poems by Iris Litt Warm sun, fresh snow--and amazing poetry! Go with Iris for a joyous and illuminating respite. Even if you can't get to her enchanting island this year, reading "Snowbird" will give you the satisfying experience of the snowbird way of life: the sun on your face and the snow beneath your feet. Start with "Downsouth"; then halfway through the book, travel "Upnorth". The problems of life don't go away but they're easier to take in the Florida sun. Iris Litt is known for writing accessible poetry that is also excitingly fresh and imaginative. Her poems give new meaning to little things that suddenly aren't little at all. Her ability to capture the spirit of place means that you're there with her, whether she takes you to her enchanting island or her beautiful mountains or Greenwich Village or any of the other places you visit with her. This is Iris' third book of poetry, and she has become a well-loved poet for this accessibility which is, at the same time, complex and illuminating. Poetry like this can take you north, south, anywhere. It's a beautiful trip. Don't miss it.
