Eva Halus

Of Me and You (Poems 2010-2013) Eva Halus

"Eva Halus is an industrious young woman who works a lot both as a teacher of painting, a studio painter and, of course, in spare time, as a poetess, successful in both fields. I think Horace`s saying Ut pictura poesis (a poem is like a painting), appeals very well to Eva`s preoccupations." Traian Gardus - writer "I am very impressed. This is quite a collection of poems that are evenly held together through recurrent themes of nature, spirituality, solitude and a sense of hope (very subtle at times). The collaboration with her art work adds an enforcing visual aspect that binds all together in a whole (a rarity in most of the collections I see that usually seem to have a sense of random disparate poems that don't seem to relate). This has been well put together and her sense of "tone" and symbolism/imagery is quite powerful..." Derek Bateman - writer and English teacher at Concordia University
