Full Of Crow welcomes Serena M. Wilcox: Metamorphic Winters: A Review of Confessions<\/span> by Marcus Reichert<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Have you ever experienced a prolonged dark night of the soul? Numbness is your meat and silence is the only form of desired communication. In Reichert\u2019s latest book Confessions<\/em>, he directs the reader like an old sage through chilling moments of despair and confusion to inner chambers of heat and illumination.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now the cold towel<\/p>\n

comes down on<\/p>\n

the forehead and<\/p>\n

our thoughts retreat<\/p>\n

into the shadows<\/p>\n

as we are subdued<\/p>\n

by the beauty that<\/p>\n

once consumed us.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Are we ever alone in absence? As one turns the pages of Reichert\u2019s book, it is like shedding sleeves of selves until one can connect with the purity we once possessed as children; manifesting the superior intellect we were given from another world before we knew our mortality.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When we can no longer remember<\/p>\n

our life unfolding with any vitality,<\/p>\n

no beauty known beyond our own<\/p>\n

deterioration, adrift in a static sea<\/p>\n

of compliant malignancy, yearning<\/p>\n

for the shifting detritus of summer<\/p>\n

to smother the forest\u2019s pristine floor,<\/p>\n

we are flowers burst into useless flame<\/p>\n

upon the bed in which we were born.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Marcus invites his readers to join him under the covers, to explore his life and walk with him as he graphically depicts what beauty looks like in eternity. His words are wool, thick with the aroma of war and rest. Everyone should be reading Reichert.<\/p>\n

CONFESSIONS: POEMS BY MARCUS REICHERT<\/em><\/p>\n

“Reichert offers us a Heracleitean stream of self-reflection into which we can step<\/em>
\nmore than once, for we can see ourselves empathically mirrored in it: his interiority<\/em>
\nis our own.”<\/em> \u2014 Donald Kuspit, Art Critic & Poet<\/p>\n

“There is no glamour, no romance, no heroism. These poems are true reflections<\/em>
\ncaptured in the looking glass of one who lives day to day, at the mercy of the events<\/em>
\nthat unfold beyond his control. They are a testament to a life lived.”<\/em> \u2014 Piers Faccini,
\nSongwriter & Poet<\/p>\n
