That Fifth Element:: Poetry

THAT FIFTH ELEMENT: POETRY is a collection of poems addressing the relationship of the four elements and that fifth essential element: poetry. LINDA IMBLER'S perspective is a fascinating journey in which the reader is drawn into a view of the world through a powerful telescope that truly makes the subtle details a reality of the obvious and the absurd. It is a collection of poems worth repeatedly reading.

In this, her third poetic offering with Soma Publishing, Imbler has located another niche to plow her unique imaginative talents. To include natural elements of the world and then make poetry a fifth element, she creatively invents another avenue to explore what metaphor and myth mean to the reader at large. This effort is successful largely due to the fact that Imbler is in a class by herself by marrying mystical scope to common reference points and thus innovating poetry that is both fanciful and fresh.
