Synopsis "Poems from Argentina"
David Francis's poems create a picture of heat-filled towns, the languid day, the familiarity of the seaport. Both the outer images and psychological, as the passing day becomes evening, then night. Life's thought-filled moments, observed, captured with words used as brush strokes. These street scenes could almost be anywhere, but this is1980s Argentina. And with emotions that become us, and we don't know why. Memorable work from David Francis.Evie Ivy, Poet, Dancer, Host of the Green Pavilion Poetry Event, BrooklynThere is something very gentle about David Francis's poetry. It has a freshness about it that I like, reminding me slightly of early Leonard Cohen. But it's the imagery that carries it along and a feeling of love for but alienation from the world. That's very attractive.Simon Fletcher, Poet, Writer, Shropshire, EnglandDavid's poetry reveals the soul of a musician and the mind of a storyteller. His words embrace color, light and depth within a spectrum of inspiration and understanding. David Francis and his poetry reflect the artistry of words within musical cadence capturing stories of life, love and sheer wonder. A true treasure of the heart, mind and soul.Joanne Olivieri, Writer, Editor of Stanzaic Stylings, San Francisco
