Reconnaissance

by Amy Nawrocki

In her latest collection, Amy Nawrocki plays voyeur and thief, surveying canvases and investigating bookshelves, searching for creativity’s origins and exploring the nature of inspiration. The poems in Reconnaissance uncover muses between the frayed pages of Byron and Shelley, in Chagall’s stained glass, at Oscar Wilde’s grave, past the deep bogs of Glencoe, and in the far away snow caps of Mount Fuji. In these insightful and elegant poems, Nawrocki invites us to believe in “the authenticity of first sight.” Open the paint box and learn how to stare.

Inspiration and creativity hide in everything. Thanks Amy Nawrocki for renewing my faith in the poetry of all things. It's easy to become cynical in such a negative world but Reconnaissance has showed me how to look for the beauty in even the simplest things. I received his bool through Goodreads first reads giveaway.
