Feria: A Poempark

By Oana Avasilichioaei

Oana Avasilichioaei deftly dismantles language and landscape in a whirling collection of poetry. feria is a poetic frolic in Vancouver's Hastings Park eluding boundaries of landscape, time and narrative. Avasilichioaei writes and rewrites over this image, interpreting its evolving layers. Park and book coincide, and the author finds herself asking what is natural, what is language, and whose voices are we listening to. This is a book that pulls the reader into a wild ride, leaving you breathless but exilirated by the end.

Customer Reviews

A grand book of verse, recommended

Life is built upon life. "Feria: A Poempark" is poet and poetry translator Oana Avasilichioaei's second book of poetry focusing on the history and life that today's buildings, structures, history, and life are built on top of. Layers are the topic, and Oana weaves it well. "Feria" is a grand book of verse, recommended. "Momiji Garden": animal a leaf/in silence; know-/ledge sustains/a privilege briefly./in a barn sweating/straw of our straw.
