The Prince of the Pup Tent and Other Poems (Volume 1)
Nola Perez
Take a sojourn in The Prince of the Pup Tent to the salt and savor of the coastal Deep South, as epitomized by Amelia Island, Florida's northernmost barrier island. It has been said that Southerners carry the South inside them, and Nola Perez delivers that infection to her readers in such poems as "Cemetery Search," "Georgia Girl," and "Typewriters." Perez is a poet of place and passion, moving into the past and out again, negotiating time in either direction, reconciling past and present, making peace with a host of persistent memories. To read her "Pup Tent" poems, is to be struck with desire for a region she so accurately and sensuously describes, be it Paris, or Miami Beach of earlier collections, or in her new book, images observed from the the porch of the lakeside house in which she now resides. Her observant poet's eye is everywhere, and and these images are kindling for her passionate fires. The Pulitzer Price nominee poet, Andrew Glaze, has written, "She is a poet who takes fierce leaps, and reaches for the landscape." Prepare to be surprised, and keep turning the pages.
