La Citadelle de Chair : Poems

As readers of this collection, we enter a citadel of being, where flesh and spirit, man and elemental nature, past and present, I and thou, pain and relief, restlessness and repose, spar and are reconciled. The poems and their rich imagery invite us to return repeatedly, the better to experience and savor them.Dr. Jean-Pierre Cauvin, Professor Emeritus of FrenchDepartment of French and Italian, University of Texas at Austin
