In her fifth poetry collection, Invisible Parables, Eva Kolacz continues her constant search for meaning by looking at scenes and subjects from different angles, or at times zooming in on them to provide the reader with previously articulated details. Her poems prove that every parable is flexible in its nature, and when we alter its character, the story can lead us to unexpected discoveries, changing our perception of it.
        Philosophical and full of wisdom in her approach, the poet builds her poems with perfect precision of subtle shifts that evoke a visual response. Eva Kolacz , who is also an accomplished artist, showcases the interplay of words through surprisingly juxtaposed lines in bold, unpredictable ways. Through her words, the poet asks the reader to open-mindedly follow her footsteps and to become deeply involved in the process of discovery.
“Siting on the rock I feel a current/going through my body in a continuous flow/with own version of a lyric born within itself.”

Eva Kolacz's ...links the everyday and the visionary by a beautiful thread with twists of European lyrical intensity and North American directness and common idiom refined.
A.F. Moritz

Eva Kolacz's collection, Whatever We Are, is in the grand tradition of serious poetry where imagination, inspired and informed by observation, experience, and much reading, becomes illumination, becomes wisdom.
M. Travis Lane

Solace by Eva Kolacz is a powerful work that ranges widely and often mixes the natural world with the complex adventures of thought.
Robert Hilles

Painterly, compassionate, wise, the eye and voice of Eva Kolacz in Invisible Parables embraces the world from bluebells to a lost sister, a particular stone and a breathing river recalled from childhood. “The mind travels/on its endless sail.” Indeed it does in these vibrant poems.
