The Old Life is Dead...l'ancienne Vie Est Morte...: Poems in English and in French / Po¿mes en Anglais et en Fran¿ais

"Xenia Sunic is amarvelously sensitive wordsmith and the fact that she is a multilingual poetessrenders her poetic accomplishments even more impressive. One can only hope thatmore of her poems will follow the publication of this work." (Dr Paul E. Gottfried) .............."Xenia has the uncannyability to commit to paper the triumphs and tragedies of the natural world withits wonderfully emotive imagery of love, nostalgia and rebirth." - Troy Southgate (author, 'Tradition& Revolution')............."C'est avec grand plaisir que je recommande cetouvrage remarquable de Xenia Sunic, une po¿tesse croate dont le talent cr¿atifet surtout le go¿t pour les mots rang¿s d'une mani¿re ravissante s'imposent. Ilest ¿ esp¿rer que davantage de vers d'une telle richesse imagiste s'¿coulentencore de cette plume inspir¿e".. (Dr Paul E. Gottfried.)............. Xenia Sunic, whose first name inClassical Greek means "foreign lady," is a foreign spirit indeed tothis most shallow age of Western decline. Her poetry is deep, it is mystical,it is achingly aesthetic -- and like allgreat art requires the reader to co-work, to participate, to ascend to animage-realm, to vault to a rarified, stark, new-old, sun-shadow world. (John de Nugent)........... "Inthe nature poetry of Xenia Sunic there is an element of rapture and an aura ofmystery in the poet's exquisite responsiveness to and almost mysticalexpression of the change of seasons and a profound delight in the sheerloveliness of nature in its more solemn as well as in its more ecstaticmoments." (Joseph Pryce) ............... For me, Xenia's poetic musereminds constantly of just what the expansive heart's creative beauty iscapable of and what one day may be possible for all of us.( Mervyn Soskolne)
