Amor de Lonh
by Gabriel Olearnik

Andromache Books

Gabriel Olearnik blends ancient themes with a modern sensibility to produce an unusual work filled with danger, passion and delight. Sparks of humour fly upward to illuminate the dark corners of the languishing soul. Desire strives to overcome death, distance and sheer impossibility in finely tuned, elegant verse that takes us from ancient Sparta to space travel, from the tragedy of the Warsaw Uprising to the joys of fatherhood. A rich, surprising book in the tradition of T. S. Eliot and Zbigniew Herbert, Amor de Lonh  warms and intoxicates the reader like a glass of fine Burgundy wine.
