Music's BrideMarius Kociejowski
Imprint: Anvil Press Poetry

Music is the motif which underlies the poems in Marius Kociejowski’s second book. In ‘Dinu Lipatti plays Chopin’s Sonata in B minor’, a musical theme illustrates the solitude of a troubled woman ‘who is no man’s, only music’s bride’; elsewhere, music is the link in the relationship between the dying Chopin and George Sand. Other poems explore tenderness and the origins of violence. Marius Kociejowski is a poet of high intelligence and accomplishment, with a gift for historical empathy and a voice entirely his own.
Awards won by Marius Kociejowski

Praise for Marius Kociejowski
'Difficulty has its own rewards in Kociejowski, whose careful orchestrations of language open up unexpected delights for the reader... These wonderful poems might serve as an antidote to the dumbing-down of modern life.'
Ian Thomson, The Catholic Herald |
