Beyond the Velvet Curtain: Poems (Wick Poetry First Book Series)

In Beyond the Velvet Curtain, Karen Kovacik illustrates Czeslaw Miloszs dictum that the purpose of poetry is to remind us how difficult it is to remain just one person. Peopled with such characters as Richard Nixon, Nikita Khruschev, Kafkas father, William Carolos Williams, Lawrence Welk, Robespierre, and a feisty Catholic saint, this original collection of poems takes us on an amusement park ride through world history and art.
