"Silvia Kofler is known for her short, succinct poems, and she does not disappoint in her latest collection, Castles in the Air. Her efficient poems are filled with intellect, wry humor, and the ironies of life across urban, domestic, and international landscapes. She skillfully plays with words
to shift meaning and reveal new insights. Her poems explore power and politics without becoming polemical. Kofler's new and collected poems
showcase her work and the wisdom she has gained over time."
-Phyllis Becker, Coordinator, Riverfront Readings Series
"The delighful wit of a born traveler, Castles in the Air reminds us that seeing the world through Silvia Kofler's eyes imparts the ability to take
flight."
-Dennis Dybek, poet, translator and author of A Treacherous Art
"Silvia Kofler's Castles in the Air takes the reader on an introspective journey along her many local and international experiences, as both a
world traveler and as a poet and translator. The many places she has experienced include her youth in Austria, as an au pair in Paris, a visitor to
friends in Norway, and various parts of South and North America. The reader experiences a synaesthesiac saga, as the words evoke more than
a word feast, rather as a kind of touch-video, more than as a tourist, indeed, as one who penetrates the essence of what one sees, hears,
feels, and ultimately engages in a poet's castles in the air."
-Stanley H. Barkan, Poet/Publisher, Cross-Cultural
Communications
Silvia Kofler's Castles in the Air opens with ekphrastic poems that paint images with words and step beyond with "sprinting toward the inevitable
sunless curves of gravity." Titles (one to two words) capture succinctly the essence of each poem. Born in Graz, Austria, and widely traveled, Kofler seamlessly connects countries and cultures with poems such as "Almost Wild Mustangs" that transitions from wild horses of western Kansas to
Austria's Lipizzaners. From the poignant "Poem for Yesterday" to the clever ending "Amending the past is a tricky business" you'll be glad you visited Kofler's Castles in the Air.
-Victoria Garton author of Light Through a Cat's Ear
