A tale of war between nations and of that which wages within one's soul, a passionate tale of guilt and redemption, the marvel of the first Creation, tales of poverty and drought in the lives of a farmer and a small child, all these are immortalized in the poetic work from newcomer, Christa A. Nunez. "Things That Make You Go Hmm...a poetic tour of introspection and other curiosities" is a collection of poems that is highly self-reflexive yet with an eye to the universe at-large, searching for the meaning of it all, intermarrying past, present and future, and finding our place there.
It mixes staccato beats of language with smooth, languid rhythms and relentlessly candid themes. The book questions everything and gives clear answers...truth always wins and nothing is as good as what is real.
It is a poignant and irreverent look at the world through the eyes of one who is in love with life...a book of poetry for the poet in all of us."
