Reseña del libro "Phases (en Inglés)"
Sensitive, sensual and meditative. Exploring the delights of the natural world, love and the beauty of the human spirit. Poetry of reverence and of the celebration of mystery, deeply mindful in a modern mountain west mode. The tight simplicity of Gordon's lines are as unclouded as the Colorado sky. These poems allow frailty to become elegance as their inner resilience unfolds a potency rooted in place and moment. A sense of the untamed in the domestic and the familiar in the wild this collection flows with a continuity as unforced as a mountain stream, each poem serving as either a pool or a series of small, uncontrived cascades. Gordon's gift at line-breaks imbue her work with the fixed-economy of words treasured by all poets. rewarding the inquisitive reader with added meaning and shadow. "Erika Moss Gordon's poetry opens the mystic door that transforms the events of daily life into moments of epiphany. We discover who we are, not in grand, award-winning actions, but in paying attention to how we relate, every day, to the world around us." Rex Weyler, Cofounder, Greenpeace International, author of Greenpeace and Blood of the Land "Reading these poems, I find myself simultaneously wanting to applaud and to sit very, very still and let their wisdom do its quiet work. I thrill in these revelations-layers of knowing and unknowing, these dances with the mystery. This collection is very much driven by love, is a mirror to meet you wherever you are in your own journey of how to love the world, to love yourself." Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer, Western Slope Poet Laureate, author of "The Miracle Already Happening" and "The Less I Hold"
