the onset of MS later, the author's art took on an
ethereal quality, swirling with light and
emotions. Her poems, too, are infused with the
energy and movement that is lost to her. They
dance and soar to great heights, plummet into the
abyss of despair, then, like her indomitable
spirit, rise again to meet the new day."
-Joan Matchett, editor
"Stania Slahor like the novelist Joseph Conrad,
enjoys writing in her acquired tongue. Perhaps,
their foreign beginnings give such people fresh
look at English, which we who have spoken it
from childhood can never attain."
-Dr. Leon Karel, Charlotte Herald News
Both haunting and beautiful, the poems in this
collection reflect the life and family of eightyyear-
old author Stania Slahor. Using her colorful
family and her personal experiences, Slahor
writes with a unique voice about a variety of
topics-from tributes to her grandparents and
parents to writings inspired from tropical
experiences in Mexico's Yucatan.
In the "The Mockingbird," readers can almost
hear the mockingbird's cry through Slahor's
descriptive language: ". its burlesque laugh /
penetrates the majestic stillness / of the wood's
green canopy / reaching to the sun . the vexing
mockingbird / the incorrigible teaser / and
tormented clown / the insatiable listener /
struggles for his own genuine song / to
overmaster his self-imposed mockery / a perfect
melodic tune ."
Slahor's writings prove that you don't need to be
an angel to fly.
