Quote of the Day
I'm filled with admiration for what you've achieved, and particularly for the hard work and the 'cottage industry' aspect of it.

Music's BrideMarius Kociejowski
Imprint: Anvil Press Poetry
Publisher: Carcanet Press Available as: Paperback (64 pages) (Pub. Nov 1999) 9780856463181 Out of Stock
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 |
