Description

With the poetic skill of Cesar Vallejo, and handiness of Ricardo Palma, Siluk produces a Peruvian background in a most favorable way. His vantage point, like the poet Par Lagerkvist, is rich with humanism. Thus, the Laureate Poet Dennis Siluk (awarded the title of the most favored writer for the Eldritch Dark Magazine, 2004 ((readership of some 2.2-million ((and l982, Pulitzer Entry)): his vantage point centers on the exploration and social identity of Peruvianism, for the most part; along with a twelve part poem on Vietnam. "In great poets we often find calmness and undisturbed beauty, a serenity and clarity." says acclaimed international poet Robert Bly, whom the author has had some correspondents with, and has met, and respects. ...says Mr. Siluk, "May I insert: when it is gone: the blue sky turns red; the green sea purple, and the beauty of the mountains cast shadows. That is why I'm headed south, to the Mantaro Valley of Peru, beyond the Andes (...that is, if you are looking for me. ((And if shadows come, I will be casting them, not the other way around.)) Life is in minutes, and who knows how many of them we have. Devotion cost." -Rosa PeƱaloza

Author Biography:

This is Mr. Siluk's 30th Book, and his 5th in poetry. He lives in St. Paul, Minnesota, and Lima, Peru with his wife Rosa; perhaps now in the Mantaro Valley. He is a seeker of the mysteries throughout the world, and has traveled almost as much as Pope John II.
