Ephemeral Awaking

I have long been familiar with Luana Stebules visual work her paintings. But I did not know she wrote poetry until she asked me to read and edit this volume. I found it quite astonishing how in many ways she manages to translate the same sensibilities and influences found in her paintings into her written work. Though these poems of course stand alone on their own merit they can also be read as extensions of her paintings. It is with great pleasure that I am able to say I helped this work see publication and get into your the readers hands. American writer and professor of English language Robert Masterson.
