Silhouettes

Mitzi Libsohn’s reputation of distinction stems from her extraordinary mental images which convey the force and power of life – they endure, they stir the emotions.  The opulence of language, the intensity of color, at once produce and achieve the effect of a picture in words, as from a scene presented on stage by costumed actors.  Her wondrous skill and profound sense of perception, are apparent in the quality and character of her text – the extraordinary arrangement and placement of her carefully chosen words, is in and of itself, an awesome achievement.  In her writing, one discovers an elaborate interweaving of various themes, giving the interpretation of their roles several possibilities.  Mitzi Libsohn’s lines assume an existence of their own in a literary intersection which persists long after reading.
