Poet's Universe Agnes Maria Trifontaine

Poet's Universe This volume of poems contains dreams and metaphors that distill reality. They are part of the poet's life experience, of having been born in Germany and lived in various different countries in the world. Live events, such as being re-rooted in the USA as well as in Asian soil, served to sharpen the poet's perspective. Included in the collection are also war time cameos as perhaps a child envisions them. The author now resides in the country. Her home overlooks the tiny village of Swedish-founded Vasa, providing her with the peace and contemplation necessary for sorting through the work, accumulated over a number of years. Below is a sample of her poetry. Paris in Season I lose my center when I am in a crowd. The immortal soul is sucked into the compactness of shoppers, travelers, tourists, seeking the ultimate experience, until I hear music dans la cathedrale: a sweet soprano, velvet baritone. Violins whisper sylvan echoes of poems being born, every minute - anyplace.
