Kisses at the espresso bar: ekphrastic prose poems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781639801817)

Kisses at the expresso bar showcases the prolific poetic style of Anita Nahal as a true virtuoso of the English language. She performs word magic in each ekphrastic prose poem, transforming the visual into the verbal, creating caramelized associations that stick to one's soul. Her sense and sensibility echo the famous quote from Antoine de Saint-Exupery's The Little Prince that "only the heart can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."

-Dr. Gerrit Dielissen, Professor of Sociology, Utrecht University, the Netherlands

"All dressed and out. High heels tick-ticking between hide, membrane, cloth. Barely touching, just hinting. So were the shades and lights, and the froths in the cups and the cakes, and the sugars and the creams. Swirling like sips in the dips of the lips and the hips. Seemingly in an animated conversation...." (From the poem, "Kisses at the espresso bar")
