Green Ivy Grows Over Their Graves, Tra La by Janice D. Soderling (2020) is a collection of received forms, vers libre, and prose poems. The red thread tying them all together is our ultimate shared fate: death. Some poems are in a lighter vein, Consider now the frantic surge of sperm, each rushing blindly, lacking aperçu. How one, a little quicker than the rest, careens into the other half of you. --The Journey while others adopt a more somber bent, Lord, let them be content with solitude. Let the wind move gently over their jutting bones. Croon them to sleep with their old pet names. --The Graveyard at the Ruins of the Monastery) Most of the poems contained here appeared in international literary journals such as Measure, The Literary Bohemian and Mezzo Cammin; some are in print for the first time. This is a volume for poetry lovers to dip into, to return to.
