The Red Robe

A collection of 30 poems written between 2012-15, A. Marie Kaluza crystallizes the union of family, romance, and the inner world, challenging the perception of these things as separate pursuits and intertwines them in rhythmic prose and free verse. Full of slant rhyme and harmonic, Kaluza creates a world of wonder in the everyday, often veering into dark passages of self-meaning and internal discovery, and the uncertainty of desire. A rich collection, The Red Robe brings depth and feather-like feeling, while resting comfortably in the ambiguous arms of poetry.
