Poetry, they say, has gone out of fashion. It no longer speaks to people. Those who say this have clearly not read the work of Alicja Kuberska. In her recent book (Not) My Poem, she demonstrates that her love of poetry and her love of writing poetry can reach and touch any reader. In these poems about dreams and bread and lovers and clouds and philosophers and butterflies and more, she touches on all those things that connect us in a language that is always joyful and clear and engaging. This book of poems will not disappoint. Dr. John Z. Guzlowski - Professor Emeritus, Eastern Illinois University, author of Echoes of Tattered Tongues: Memory Unfolded
