A new book by Wagner College Spanish professor Marilyn Kiss, “Signal Moments: Poems of Loss and an Antidote,” has just been released by Plain View Press, an issue-based literary publishing house based in Austin, Texas. “In ‘Signal Moments,’ Marilyn Kiss invents her own chronology of loss, from family and pets, to Neruda and Janis Joplin, to her own aging,” wrote Bob Holman, founder of the Bowery Poetry Club. “Time sways back and forth, personal and mutable. It is the poems that hold, unchanging and clear.”
“Where there is death, there is life — as Marilyn Kiss’s work testifies,” wrote Nancy Mercado, author of “It Concerns the Madness.” “An unforgotten friend, a desperately loved mother, father, aunt or dog who has left this world finds life in the bosom of these pages, teaching us all that true poetry breathes life, resurrects, documents our world, our loves, our nightmares, the truth.”
Fans of Nimbus, the Wagner College literary magazine, will recognize many of these poems. Professor Kiss has been a regular Nimbus contributor for the last 7 years.
“Signal Moments,” a 104-page paperback book, is available for purchase online from both the publisher (plainviewpress.net) and Amazon.com.
