The Keeping of Lights is a collection of new poems from surrealist poet, Alexander Romanovich. In this volume, the author's poetic sensibility lures readers far away from the mundane and conventional experiences of daily life to uncover a more revealing world - exotic, dreamlike, full of mystery and mythology. The sensual imagery and marvelous landscapes of the mind act as a stage for an odyssey of love, metaphysical discovery, memory, and personal transformation. -- Selected for the 2019 Poets House Showcase in New York City, The Keeping of Lights will be featured in an interactive exhibition celebrating recent works of the poetry community.
