Felino Soriano's Realities of Bifocal Translations

Felino A. Soriano's "Realities of Bifocal Translations" is dominated by jazz echoes, scatted as it were, and its idioms, as well as the personal and celebrated brushstrokes of 20th and 21st Century painting translated to poetry. Predominately one page takes, the poems, executed in a hybrid of modernist/postmodernist syntax, offer the reader a swirling look down & up at the all-important avant-garde heritage of us all. Simultaneously historic and contemporary, the poems in this volume do what good ekphrastic poetry (or music or painting) should do...dip its tongue in the honey and lay it back down, poised like the instrument all musicians/artists/poets share—experience and articulated reality.

Fractions of a Mood Swing (Cedar Key, FL)

This perdition of littoral.

Collaborates intensely.

One fifth its aspect appears alternatively a blue engulfed.

Its edge a difference.

Ogles barnacles apprehensively.

Gulf sways in lunar efflorescence.

Yet sepia to begin.

Flaming flushed heart makes sense of a pier.

Grey creaking dock slack in disinterested tide.

Chipped white paint flaking harbor house.

Wobble of signs in evening breeze.

Act out the lonely end of.

Flat creatures painted on shells.

Evade interpretation.
