Eunoia

In this dimly lit world, among the scattered voices and meaningless chatter, Renata Pavrey’s whimsical collection invites us to glide through twilight in a park, to return from the letterbox with a much-awaited letter, to dance with fireflies, to savor the tang of orange zest, or run our fingers lovingly across the spines in a bookcase. Eunoia is a state of positivity which reflects a well balanced mind exhibiting goodwill and kindness. Engage, uplift, nurture, outshine, ignite, and astound – Eunoia is a celebration of the things we do. Pavrey offers a quotidian that is both familiar and surprising through verses that cover a range of topics from pets to plants, sports and food, and aim to bring attention to the things that light up our days, however trivial they might seem to others. The Japanese senryu and French villanelle, blank verse and acrostics, nestled alongside rhymed poetry, cinquain, limerick, ode, soliloquy, epistolary, tanka, and vers libre. Everyday topics addressed through classical verse.
