Compatible Aspects of the Disparate Endeavor (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780983274728)

Reviews

"In Compatible Aspects of the Disparate Endeavor, Soriano's vision driven poetry colludes with the pulsing surfaces of several contemporaneous paintings, until insatiable curiosity draws both the writer and the reader into the fathomless interior world of the painting itself. This symbiotic Stendhal Syndrome allows a full forensic analysis of the merged body, the heart which propels the art itself, the mind which the eye fecundates. This allows for a full absorption of ideas which promote a continuous growth that starts inside both poet/artist and witness/reader; a visceral communion, an epistemological closure, where heart and mind are joined in a scrupulously controlled passion play."
- William Crawford author, Fire in the Marrow

"The language in this book is innovative and fresh. Every line is pregnant with a creative calliopean voice: a revival of the sacred-authentic poetry. This project emends the notion that contemporary poetry is unsustainable. Everyone should be reading Felino A. Soriano's work."
- Serena Tome poet, co-editor of Differentia Press

"Teeming with abstractions and laced with what I can only term a stoical lyricism, his labyrinthian language challenges readers to confront their own ideas about poetry's sometimes tenuous place in the modern world. At the same time, Soriano's ekphrastic poems boldly if somewhat vertiginously challenge our notions of how we might approach visual art interpretation."
- Alison Ross publisher and editor, Clockwise Cat
