Reviews

Narcisa Vucina's poems are a bridge between language and emotion. Bridges are built so that something fragile can pass safely. Language is shaped with restraint and attentiveness, so emotions neither spill into sentimentality nor collapse into silence. Kalejdoskopet, Danish Broadcasting Corporation Vucina's poems explore erotic attraction, the dreams of jealousy, the warm moment of cohabitation, bodies and souls on a mutual loan agreement. Each poem captures the mood, the touch of love. A linguistic sound of sensuality, crisp and delicate where it rings through.
