Reviews
Fonseca's second collection of poems (after This Enduring Gift), organized into seven sections, displays a clear writing style scored with tenderness and splashes of humor. The poems capture pivotal moments in relationships and point to the thread that connects humankind and the divine. ... The collection begins to shine in the third section. Humor and creativity meld in the poetic fable of the title poem, which quips, God retired and Angels sang Him to sleep. When Fonseca turns his attention to the mundane, his poems pack concentrated power. ... Takeaway: This splendid collection attracts modern poetry readers with playful language and evocative imagery. -BookLife by Publishers Weekly, 2020 Here is the collection of poetry I have waited for all my life - Freddy Niagara Fonseca's The Bomb That Blew Up God. At last, poems that satisfy both critical mind and longing soul. Bold exquisite, rich language and brilliant awake treatments breathe life into worthy themes - nature, seasons, home, memory, dance, death, music, poetry, contentment. The great triumph of Fonseca's poetry is sustained momentum blending image with observation to inexorably open the reader to unbounded awareness, where every reader wants to be. These poems entertain! Allow me to direct you to a singular masterpiece among masterpieces, The New York City Zoo, which delivers the reader from the ridiculous to the sublime. -Burton Milward, Jr., retired attorney, author, radio show host
