R J Dent�s poetry collection Moonstone Silhouettes published
This is my latest poetry collection, entitled Moonstone Silhouettes.
In this collection I've focussed mostly on the ethereal and the mystical, although there are a few elegies for lost friends, and one or two poems in praise of major writers who have influenced me.
The landscapes that I describe range from the exotic (Ancient Greece and modern France) to the bizarre to the out-and-out surreal. The characters that I describe are often strange and other-worldly.
I've included a few translations of poems I love: poems by Arthur Rimbaud, Charles Baudelaire, Ibycus and Sappho. There are also elegies for four great writers who are no longer with us: Jean Genet, Anna Kavan, Charles Baudelaire, and Tarjei Vesaas. Further information regarding my book-length translations of Charles Baudelaire, Alcaeus and Tarjei Vesaas is available on my website: www.rjdent.com
I've tried to create a poetry collection in which each poem is a door that opens into another world - hopefully a beautiful world you can enter through the poem and which you can stay in for a while and enjoy - a world where warmth, beauty, joy, laughter, pleasure, happiness and eroticism co-exist peacefully and harmoniously.
