Elizabeth Marino, signed by author
$18.00

This book ASYLUM by Elizabeth Marino is great poetry-the kind the twenty-first century needs. I was pleasantly shocked by its incisiveness and saddened by its insights into depths. It’s clear that she has learned mastery of her imagery, metaphors, metonyms, symbols; all go to make this collection a packed masterpiece that makes you gasp at its beauty and cry at its depth into the human condition in its nuances and not in its generalizations. It ‘irrupts’ into you and refuses to leave you. My hope is that it gets many awards and is prescribed for study in universities, colleges and schools. I feel humbled to have known such a great poet.-Dr. Koshy Av
