Book Description

CSU Poetry Center Prize Winner, 1996. Marilyn Krysl has found balance in places shaken by deprivation and injury. This is a beautiful book of poetry, not because it is lyrical (though it is), but because it treats suffering with love. It embraces what devours us. (Marvin Bell)

Beautiful, searing poems.......2004-07-18

WARSCAPE WITH LOVERS is one of my favorite books of poetry. Each poem is a gem--reflecting the author's deep empathy for humanity while revealing sometimes shocking and horrifying crimes against civilians and families in wartorn nations. Marilyn Krysl, in addition to her writing, is a peace activist, and her desire to show the senselessness of war is apparent in each poem. Beyond the political, her works are also incredibly beautiful--sensual, lyrical, at times humorous, always unforgettable. Some of my favorite poems were written about Krysl's work with Mother Teresa's Calcutta clinic for the dying. They are breathtaking works of art as Krysl gives dignity to even the poorest of the poor, and makes vivid the nuns whose work inspires her. This is not a religious book, but it does transcend the normal boundaries between the physical and spiritual world. For creative writers, I especially recommend this book, as its crystalline lyricism and precise imagery is indeed inspirational and something we all can aspire to.

Emotion before craft.......1999-10-07

Another tome from someone who's paycheck comes from a University rather than readers. And she teaches the same. These type of writers should get out of their ivory towers and into the trenches and learn their craft, especially before they set out to teach others. This book was strong on emotion, but weak on craft.

an absolutely riveting collection!.......1999-07-27

i have always loved krysl's short stories -- and hope her other collections become available again -- but with this book, she's hit her stride. she tells it like it is...and in such beautiful language! let's have MORE from this author, who outdoes most short-story writers publishing in the larger mainstream.

Unfortunate cover and title; finely crafted stories within........1998-10-31

This is one book that cannot be judged by its title and cover. These strongly focused and insightful stories are both penetrating and lyrical -- revealing emotional landscapes of men and women people dealing with important issues. Some stories reflect the disquiet of interpersonal relationships; others deal with the harsh realities of lives interconnected in a global context. I attended a reading where Ms. Krysl read one story, about a man coming to terms with his role in the social injustices of his business dealings in a third world country. The audience was stunned. Instead of a cover of hazy red and gray, with an atom bomb explosion at the top and a reclining bikini-clad woman on the bottom, this book deserved a title and cover representative of the fine quality of the stories within it. This is a book to read, contemplate, and then re-read.
