Martha Kapos Libros

Imagining sonata form as a narrative structure, Martha Kapos presents a collection of poems crafted over nearly three decades, exploring complex psychological themes. The work offers a unique blend of musicality and introspection, inviting readers to engage deeply with the emotional resonance of her verses. An afterword by Lawrence Kramer further enriches the experience, providing insight into the interplay between music and poetry.

Captures a range of perceptions and emotion. This title is both a huge hymn of praise for 'life', for ordinary experiencing, and at the same time faces movingly and directly the incomprehensibility of loss - the loss of someone else, deeply known and loved.

These new poems by Martha Kapos constitute an attempt to retrieve someone whose loss has been experienced through illness and finally death. Often the viewpoints are visual ones; in every case metaphor is the guiding principal in The Likeness, which addresses how a figure is brought back to life through a process whose essence is poetic.
