Eulogies to a dying father, lush lyrics to former lovers in Europe: joy, sorrow, sex, death.
Well-controlled eulogies to her dying father in rural Kentucky, lush lyric and prose poems to lovers and former-lovers in Paris and various Eastern European countries, and compelling anaphoric-based narratives that meander between innocence and experience, body and soul—these are the motifs in Cecilia Woloch''s stirring collection, Carpathia. Cecilia is, first and foremost, a relentless traveler (and watcher) of the human condition. Her poems risk the heart, teach and delight, and remind us that we won''t leave this earth without our share of love and weeping. What reviewer Willaim Neumire said of her last collection Late, is true of Carpathia: "This collection has a little piece of pleasure for everyone. There are some lyrics in the purest, song-like sense, and there are some lyrical prose-poems that succeed on a more narrative level. This book is a grab-bag of good poems, and each page is a surprise."
