Böcker av Sophia Falco

Chronicles of Cosmic Chaos: In The Fourth Dimension continues Sophia Falco's poetic and psychic-spiritual quest to represent, figure forth, and express altered states of affect and moods of embodied-disembodied being. She goes on crossing slings and arrows of "cosmic chaos" as entrance into trances, tropes, and traces of a "fourth dimension." In this her third book, the forms have become more compressed, adjudications of meaning more secure as line, stanza, form. Sophia is on a poetic journey and takes the reader into the sacred heart of bipolar transformation and migration: herein younger self, future self, and present self collide and collude into a plot of survivance, radiance, love, and life wisdom. -Rob Sean Wilson, author of When the Nikita Moon Rose and Waking in Seoul"Sophia Falco's poems are luminous, rich paths of acceptance. Generous in their attention to detail, they are transformative in their celebrations of the local, the neighbor, the details that make each person unique."-Juliana Spahr, author of This Connection of Everyone with LungsThe poems in Chronicles of Cosmic Chaos are deeply contemplative. They reach back into memory to reveal a fleeting image, simple yet profound, or perhaps a quiet gesture, a shared moment of joy or grief. -Aaron Lelito, Editor in Chief of Wild Roof Journal"Sophia's poems are wonderfully specific and personal. They contain unexpected details that color a solitary moment or spark a memory. From this, themes of love and suffering, connection and impermanence emerge. It's a beautiful collection."-Maya Highland, Editor of The Closed Eye OpenGrab ahold of Sophia's hand as she leads you into the fourth dimension; a place filled with heartache, contrast, darkness, and light. Falco's heartfelt poetry will spin you into a stunning expanse of cosmic chaos.-Tiny Seed Literary Journal

The Immortal Sunflower is a voyage of the mind navigating through intense feelings that expose raw emotions rooted in a troubled psyche, and ultimately the transformation into the light. From a tiger to a red dove, and to a sunflower as tall as a skyscraper, these highly imaginative, vulnerable, and powerful poems uniquely take on an otherwise typically invisible and often devastating illness-bipolar disorder. Sophia Falco, an individual who is affected by this, captures suffering and hope in unconventional ways including imagery that transcends earth into outer-space.
