In tight, compact words that resemble an unravelling DNA code of life, poet Robert Flanagan contemplates mortality in his latest collection, Giant Sky of The Shepherds.

The writing of Carlos De Oliviera is usually considered neorealist, but this selection of poems also shows the influence of symbolism, surrealism, and cubism. These poems reflect on the nature of writing in the actual process of its production, which lends this work great density and acuity.
