Eva Kolacz

Praise for Eva Kolacz's poetry”

Lyrical, metaphysical, epigrammatical, Kolacz’s poetry speaks of mind, body and nature with a humane vision and a questioning spirit that should give solace to many lovers of poetry.
~ Brian Bartlett

The fragility and wispiness of life, the yoking of human reflection to nature’s stubborn silences, the haunted beauty frozen in the moment before passing out of existence.
~ Michael Mirolla


Her words are perfectly timed, and she commands language as the best poets do pulling you along with the precision of meaning. Whether she writes about anger or revels in nature's bold creations, her poems yank you awake to all that has gone unnoticed.
~ Robert Hilles

. . .her delight in the immediacies of nature, interpersonal love and shared experiences, and her prophetic hope for a better, truer way of seeing existence, into a blend that is fully her own.
~ A.F. Moritz

In songs of defiance and desire, Eva Kolacz joins a catalogue of erotic poets that stretches from Sappho to Dickinson.These petits frissons are the travel journal of a woman taking notes as silent clouds hurry by, changing shape while she translates the moving murals into the music of time, her own life softly singing. Kolacz' debutante collection is about the agony of translating dream into reality, of becoming a white kite with flying attitudes, her expectation and disappointment in love, longing as graceful as sky dancers, drops of water in air.
~ Linda Rogers
