By: Adelaide Books OFTEN FANGED LIGHT is a collection of poems reflecting the joys and horrors of the natural world; it memorializes lives early ruined and lives lost, excoriates social and environmental injustices, and more than hints at the poet's complicity in this "dome of many-colour'd glass." From the personal standpoint, Often Fanged Light delineates the poet's journey from the heartland of the industrial Midwest to a small town on the southeast coast of Massachusetts, her divorce from an engaged working life to one of contemplation, devotion to the arts, and advocacy. "Nature assumes a voice in often fanged light, the most recent poetry collection by Anca Vlasopolos, who has turned her eye once again to the landscape and the many ways it intrigues and awes while summoning us to be better stewards. Birds are "flaming acrobats" that "glide on fringed hems," trees wave "flame-colored handkerchiefs," "Anca Vlasopolos' Often Fanged Light renders nature through the burning laser lens of a woman who is yet that immigrant from the European displacement camps, coming to America and discovering again in New England's seasonal rawness the fierce will to beauty, to cruel loss and survival, to a core of human wisdom that true naturalists learn and instruct. This collection is an outburst of nature poems for the 21st century, particular and laconic by turn, funny yet biting and bitter in humor, its figures of speech stunningly vivid and new, befitting its capture of New England's flora and fauna as displays of Nature in its original facticity." - Shirley Geok-lin Lim, author of Among the White Moon Faces (American Book Award), and recipient of the Commonwealth Poetry Prize and MELUS Lifetime Achievement Award.
