Now in its Second Printing!
Late is driven by the alternating energies of prose poems and free verse.
Woloch understands a person’s true relationships with family, friends and lovers
arrive late—if at all. The exquisite pathos in these poems disclose Woloch’s abiding
empathy for family, children, ex-lovers, and strangers.
"To write movingly about love in an era infused with hate requires a special gift:
nostalgia hard-edged with realism. She has that gift."
-- Maxine Kumin

TSIGAN
Cahuenga
(2002)
|
|
Tsigan is a book-length poetic meditation that intertwines the author's
personal journey of identity with the larger forces in the world that have shaped
the Roma people's fate and fortunes.
"Upon the blank page of her grandmother's, and every gypsy's, death, Cecilia Woloch
writes her own story. Haunted. Unsettled. Gorgeously so."
-- Ralph Angel

SACRIFICE
Cahuenga
(1997)
|
| Sacrifice is hailed by
poet-critic David St. John as "an extraordinary debut . . . The exquisite sensuality
of these poems is matched only by [their] heart-breaking delicacy . . . Cecilia Woloch's
poems unveil the wreckage of love after what has been sacramental turns sacrificial . . .
they are prayers spoken to, and on behalf of, a difficult world."
