Green Ivy Grows Over Their Graves, Tra La by Janice D. Soderling (2020) is a collection of received forms, vers libre, and prose poems. The red thread tying them all together is our ultimate shared fate: death. Some poems are in a lighter vein, Consider now the frantic surge of sperm, each rushing blindly, lacking apercu. How one, a little quicker than the rest, careens into the other half of you. –The Journey while others adopt a more somber bent, Lord, let them be content with solitude. Let the wind move gently over their jutting bones. Croon them to sleep with their old pet names. –The Graveyard at the Ruins of the Monastery) Most of the poems contained here appeared in international literary journals such as Measure, The Literary Bohemian and Mezzo Cammin; some are in print for the first time. This is a volume for poetry lovers to dip into, to return to.
