Impluses

<p>Sometimes words are ghosts dancing with myth and memory. Greek-Canadian poet Manolis Aligizakis demonstrates this in Impulses his new collection of poems. His poetry springs from a congenital intimacy with a culture and its history. In essence we are before a poetic glance that is also a revolving metaphor encircling feelings from a Mediterranean philosophy.</p><p>Poets tend to be witnesses of paradoxes and to recreate them; it's not a compromise between logic and the rational it's an absolute nouveau reality. With this new book Manolis tells us that poetry is an affirmation of the soul a witness for the dream. Fine poetry there is.</p><p>~ Eduardo Bettencourt Pinto</p>
