The art of flying

Author Name: Anna Maria Mickiewicz | Format: Paperback | Genre : Poetry | Other Details
THE ART OF FLYING: anthology of poems,short stories and memoirs dedicated to the art of flying “Flying Between Words” is a poetic transformation of time and soul, searching for rooting in the history, language and the source of existence. The aviation-themed book published in the series of “Contemporary Writers of Poland” in the American publishing house Dreammee Little City (Florida: 2015) under the guidance of Anna Maria Mickiewicz and Danuta Błaszak, cultural ambassadors engaged in promotion of Polish literature abroad, is a unique international position.[…]The authors of the anthology Flying Between Words touch intangible, reveal universal meaning through paradox, go far beyond the subject of airline or historical and poetic themes. The value of the book lies in its hermeneutics of postmodern culture full of discontinuity of time and history, the breakdown of subjectivity and traditional values. In conclusion, FBW contributes to self-understanding. This is why the book is worth recommendation. Anna Banasiak
