Reseña del libro "Painting the Heart Open (en Inglés)"
These are poems of memory, thanks, prayer, bliss, dreams and blessings, embedded in color, and, while ethereal, are also rooted firmly to the earth. Hope is the sustaining thread even if some poems veer into darkness. Light is never too far away. Praise for Painting the Heart Open: “In poems of praise, memory, reverence for nature and the multi-hued nature of spirit, Liz Nakazawa’s new collection captivates with ‘secrets of place, fugues and canons of personal history.’ “Here, one finds ‘sublime sauntering’ or a ‘legato of striding’ from a poet who urges the reader in tender imperatives to ‘enter,’ ‘abandon,’ ‘hold,’ ‘absorb.’ Nakazawa’s ‘legible musings’ range from the exquisite ‘complicated anatomy of figs’ to broad implications, geological and metaphorical, of the Missoula Flood. “These poems, much like pages in a medieval book of hours, encourage the heart’s light to shine while one is alive ‘before that holiness of night.’” ~ Quinton Hallett, author of Mrs. Schrödinger’s Breast and Refuge from Flux
