POETRY
THE ASYMMETRY OF SILENCE
For this, his sixth collection of poetry, Arn Strasser takes the reader on an emotional journey across time, people and places from a life fully lived. The journey is a varied one...poems of loss, longing and silences, Zen-like meditations, stories of mermaids and make believe poets, fables of lovers, and love songs. Arn Strasser has been called a generous poet, and here we have a book that is generous, filled with an awe for the mysteries of life.

REMEDIES
"Whether decrying the cruelties and injustices of the world or, much more frequently celebrating its beauties and triumphs, Arn Strasser´s lean, elegant poems are marked by precise observation and quiet authority. Here are tributes to artists ("Poem to Lorca", "Indigo") and to nature ("Flowering Quince in Bloom"), tender love poems ("Perhaps", "The Wanderings") and imaginative extravaganzas ("Breakfast with Death", "Roman Holiday"), a rich selection of work by a generous-spirited poet."
MICHAEL PALMA, translator, poet and author of Begin the Gladness and translator of Dante´s Inferno, among other works.
