Robin Wyatt Dunn Libros

“Robin Wyatt Dunn’s poetry holds one important characteristic I look for in a poem - the intuitive mind, especially as fulcrum for leaps of insight. Whether read as one long poem or as self-sufficient, independent poems (as the poet intuits in #11 - “these poems”), this book showcases craftsmanship that argues very well for the proposition that poetry is most of the time more about how it, rather than what, is said. That the rhythm is in many ways the poetry, the rhythm that echoes complex emotions. In his poetry, imagery is rhythmic and synesthetic. Images, as visual constructs, have echoic registers as complex sound patterns. This book is a must-have for seasoned readers of poetry, as well as enthusiasts in the apprenticeship stage - as his poetry embodies one facet of literary the best poems teach how to write poetry, and write it well.” - Jonel Abellanosa, author of “Multiverse” (Clare Songbirds Publishing House) and “Pan’s Saxophone” (Weasel Press).

This illustrated book of haiku and short poems is the sequel to Radhakeesoon's Tropical Temporariness. Mauritius is an island and thus it is surrounded by the sea. Radhakeesoon portrays the sea as the island's eternal guardian/watchman. Therefore, the blue mystic sea seems to have a pair of huge hypnotic eyes that remain wide open on a 24-hour basis daily. This poetic association led to the title, Eyes of the Sea. Eyes of the Sea comprises of 60 haiku written in the traditional style of 3 lines , 5-7-5 syllables. Most of the haiku in this book are about the natural beauty of Mauritius characterized by its tropical climate. Radhakeesoon has also included some haiku about her visit to Orlando, Florida in March 2001 when she was in her 20’s. Orlando in springtime with its blue sky and palm trees has some similarities to Mauritius and this made her feel much at home.
