Like cellist Vedran Smailovic playing in the bombed National Library of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992 to honor the victims of the Siege of Sarajevo, the haunting poems in Michael Sharp's third collection bear witness to unspeakable violence through art. Simultaneously luminous and terrifying, intertwined sagas thread the collection, buoyed by friendship, infused with a compassionate ethos of relation. Birds punctuate, with the lapwing's presence to protect rather than deceive. Having taught poetry for four decades in the Caribbean, Professor Sharp offers poems of unflinching conviction on a global scale. Maritza Stanchich, Ph.D., Professor of English, University of Puerto Rico -Río Piedras
