Flaming Angels of Spring:
Poems About Women
by David Chirko�
unwrapping the mysteries encapsulating the...female psyche--from the
ultrafeminine to the flagrant,
" i.e., from the title poem: "Flaming angels of spring weave
a pastoral tapestry/O'er the sleepless,
meadowed minds,/entreating the burning softness
of summer;" and, from "Paranoid": "Her hot
tongue
is acrid, so it will travel/Across cool oceans of ominous thoughts and
words--/Rumors unravel."

PEPPERMINT NIGHT
by Vanna Tessier

Aware of today's environmental challenges, Tessier is always in search of a good

THISTLE CREEK
by Vanna Tessier
The
stories of THISTLE CREEK deal with two contrasting worlds, the past
and
the present, influencing people’s relationships. Searching through
what is left of the
past in our memories, we understand how time may chisel at our ever-changing
present. Some find shelter in reminiscing and in their imagination.
Others go on with
their lives, facing reality on their own terms. You may act on impulse,
but you don’t
want to forget what didn’t turn out the way you expected. If you
can’t relive nor
remake the past, you can change, transforming the present into a mold
for the future.
And that may be worth a try.

CACTUS CHILD
by Vanna Tessier
"Each
line changes into an image - a transformation of the never-ending story
which may be the truth -
a different facet in the kaleidoscope of reality - a work where verse
becomes musically enigmatic."
- Gilberto Finzi – author of The Last Waltz of Chopin and Little
Aerial Soldier
shortlisted for the 2000 PEN AWARD FOR POETRY.
"In Vanna Tessier's poetry, each word, each sound matters as does
their cumulative music.
Some subjects are caught up close, others farther away, but each is
freshly and honestly rendered.
Through it all, Tessier writes moral poems that force us to confront the
dark as well as the light.
These poems cross the world and time but always find essential human
truths.
Most of all they reveal just how complex and holy each life is. Tessier will make you
care, will make you wonder, but most of all she'll make you want to
do something good."

which becomes unconscious in its effect, like recognizing a friend from
