Poetry is song. We sing it to ourselves When the heart is full Of joy, Of grief, Of sheer delight. Poetry is its own language: the mathematics of the soul. It is song that is sung within as well as without. As we enter the world of the poet, we absorb his music through our own prism. Using a contemporary idiom, Victor Barranca shares a collection of poems that explore the awe of love and nature as well as the fear of dangerous politics within classical and experimental forms of verse. While poignantly reflecting on the current state of the world, Barranca provides a safe place for others to do the same while navigating through a human sea to seek and understand the truth, and conquer darkness with light. My Music is a volume of sonnets, monologues, and other writings that use a contemporary idiom to explore nature, love, and current events.
