Martha Kapos aborde la poésie à travers le prisme de la culture visuelle et des études classiques. Son œuvre se caractérise par une observation aiguë et une profonde contemplation de l'expérience humaine. Elle explore l'interconnexion de l'art, du langage et de la mémoire dans ses écrits. Kapos offre aux lecteurs une perspective unique sur le monde, à la fois détaillée et universelle.
These new poems by Martha Kapos constitute an attempt to retrieve someone whose loss has been experienced through illness and finally death. Often the viewpoints are visual ones; in every case metaphor is the guiding principal in The Likeness, which addresses how a figure is brought back to life through a process whose essence is poetic.
Imagining sonata form as a narrative structure, Martha Kapos presents a collection of poems crafted over nearly three decades, exploring complex psychological themes. The work offers a unique blend of musicality and introspection, inviting readers to engage deeply with the emotional resonance of her verses.
