Synopsis

Perilous Delight collects poems that celebrate the joy of finding the "right words" to hold an idea to the light. In the collection are also poems that show the perils writers face - the self-doubt, the dead ends, the realization that a poem once showing promise just can't find its legs. The author contends that delight and peril in fact work together to sharpen the writer's eye, fine tune the writer's ear, and keep the writer alert to ways in which poems enlighten her or his life experience.

À propos de l'auteur

Victor Klimoski creates and designs collections of his poems as a disciplined way to deepen his skills as a writer. He finds that the demands of revision expand his capacity to discover what lies below an idea or what he might consider an "inspired moment." His collections draw on metaphors of nature, the ongoing exploration of life experience, and his own spiritual self-understanding to show others the world as he knows it. Among his collections are Matters of Life and Death (2014). Margin Notes (2016), Revisited (2017), Perspective (2019), Natural Wonder (2019), and Edged With Light )2022). In addition, he has been a contributing co-editor for four anthologies: Through A Child's Eyes (2001), Naming Hope (2019), Reverencing Earth (2023) and Making Peace (2026). He leads workshops/retreats for writers and is a writing coach.
