On the shoulder of the angel, Romanès

"When I entered

in the hospital with daughter

in the arms I thought

My God, do

it so alive.

Do not make me

to become the greatest poet. "

From poem to life there is only one step, if although the poem itself may disappear behind the strength of a smile or a meeting. This is the trace left by short poems - the pearl-Alexander Romanes.

From poem to the aphorism, there is only one breath. Phrases of remarkable simplicity, naked, completely naked. This apparent destitution which really is not one, at least for its author, fascinated, perhaps because we are most often abroad.

On the shoulder of the angel novel testifies to essential experiences, life, death, love, light a few lines if you do not know if have worms, or notes sentences.

novel is so often on the verge of poetic writing in the sense where it shows rather what needs to be considered poetic by man: the eyes of a child, the life of a loved one, the passage of time. The poet here is the extreme opposite of his contemporaries and he picks the most accurate notes of his life and sends rain drop by drop. The first part of the collection is also the aptly named "Pieces for Lute." In light of this title, we can say that each poem is novel does with the other, forming a musical composition. To read novels, he must learn to change my opinion of scale and give the words any place particular the extent of a text to another they are echoes resound or pose a counterpoint. The collection was probably all that can displease a contemporary poet by the simplicity that reaches to the disappearance of the poem. And the poem is absent before the poem does not need ... This pervasive sense while playing is deeply troubling to the writer, but he will touch the heart, I think, people least likely to hear words sing. Whatever one thinks of the value of this poetry, one can not but acknowledge that this collection is more admirable for its purpose and its content, because he does share poetry by erasing almost the poem.
