Synopsis:
Writes Colette Inez of Figman’s Big Spring, “Meditative, playful, sensual, and witty, ELLIOT FIGMAN’S poems offer us insights and mysteries that veer from the cool, precise ruminations on loss to lyrical intensities of joy… What begins in an exploration of sorrow and restraint ends in resonance and amplitude, all the while acknowledging an unbiased universe. It is exhilarating to read these evolved and varied poems of transformation and love.” These are spare, airy poems that speak quietly about loud things.
