Description

If Alexander Motyl's poems are metaphysical, it's primarily because they deal with the quivering sensation of things passing. At the same time, the poet's language is suffused with names and places and is, thus, inextricably connected to real life. It's as if experience and memory were playing tennis, forcing us, the readers, to pay close attention to the players and divine the rules of the game. Cityscapes resound with the living voices of people, family histories focus on loss, and the falling of leaves "makes my heart soar with boundless levity." -Vasyl Makhno, poet, 2013 recipient of Serbia's Povele Morave Prize in Poetry "Nowhere can be somewhere/and somewhere can be nowhere" writes Alexander Motyl in his new collection Vanishing Points. He shows us loss in country after country. Changing landscapes in life until it fades, but doesn't vanish. These poems would make a beautiful film, threads of life that never end. Beautiful images of yearning that stays with the eyes. -Gloria Mindock, poet Alexander Motyl takes the reader on a journey from Vienna to New York through history with a literary vision and poetic rhythm. The speaker of these lively poems embraces cities and venues with trepidation and lustful abandon as if they were capricious lovers; contemplates composers, historical characters and saints with the ease of a long lost neighborhood friend. Poem to poem, wry humor and a sense of loss converge, taking to task that which stays and that which changes. -Dzvinia Orlowsky, poet, 2007 winner of the Pushcart Prize
