ROMAR Press presents
A collection of poetry, photography, and the love of wine.
Edited by Marilyn Robitaille
This collection of poems features 27 talented poets from three countries. Every poem showcased is inspired by the love of wine, and every photograph engages with each poem's emotional context to enhance it.
Photographs were provided from Unsplash and Pixabay and represent a variety of styles by photographers from all over the world.
What could be sweeter on a picnic than enjoying a bottle of wine and some excellent poems with someone you love?
Every poem in the book sits beside a photograph chosen to answer it, so each opening reads like a glass poured for two.
A poem from the collection will appear here once ROMAR Press selects it and the poet approves it for the web.
The photograph the book pairs with that poem, with its photographer credited.
The cover is a watercolor by Diana Synatzske: grapes and vine leaves in plum, violet and green, ruled over with fine pen lines, the color left to run down the page like wine down a glass. Here it is up close.
