DANCe H.E.R.E
By Laura .M. Kaminsky
Origami Books, 114 pp.
Words are the eggs of poem is a metaphor for words given
birth to words, a line in the poem incubation, a symbol for the collection of poetry written in six sections-incubation, dance
here, red ink, messages, blinders and drawing water.
The poet used her words to capture the fragments of
someone’s life, a dear word, and to capture the fragment of someone’s death, a
dear one whose words were stifled forever.
The Six sections were written in free verse, the words
took form with the cadence of natural speech. Free verse was first use in
Italian Opera and in the king James translation of the bible.
The poet’s words lay eggs and formed images that captured
my emotions, the words labelled fragile with red ink made me cry for Jos,
Maiduguri, our girls and Hashem Shaabani.
Laura M. Kaminski’s collection of poetry is not a song of
sorrows, but a song of life, a gift of friendships, and words of lessons.
