Sentenced to Venice (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781945587375)

Bend author and poet Kake Huck's new release, Sentenced to Venice, is a
tight, gorgeous volume of poems about Venice, Italy. In 50 poems divided into four themes, the reader explores Venice through the watchful eyes and thoughtful interpretations of the poet.

Bend author Ellen Waterston, author of Hotel Domilocos, says of the Huck's work, "The masterful collection you hold in your hands is a ticket to Venice past and present. You will be transported by "wings wide open but unmoving," will travel in the company of poems so beautifully rendered you won't notice each is only one sentence long...such is the remarkable skill of the poet."
Judith Montgomery, author of Pulse & Constellation, adds, "In Sentenced to Venice, Kake Huck...lays open for us the perpetual play (or war) among art, sex, religion, and politics, her sharp observations drawing into focus the disparity between artifice and reality."

"Kake Huck's Sentenced to Venice is a quirky, informed and irreverent homage to a great world city," says Marion Davidson, author of Closeness of Ice.
