Marya Fiamengo's poetic voice is always arresting and distinctive, blending the passion and lyricism of her ancestral language (Croatian) and mythos with the decorum, historical resonance, and moral commitments (to ideals of social justice in particular) of the British and Canadian traditions. She is a Canadian nationalist and a moderate feminist -- also human, humorous, and frank. 'Visible Living' presents a definitive selection of the best of her work, ranging from early writing to a large number of recent, previously unpublished verse. It enables readers to trace the development of Fiamengo's voice and concerns, from early work based on exploration of myth, to engagements with historical and political realities, to feminist pieces, to later elegies, to lyrics of highly personal statement on mortality and the divine, and confirms her achievement and status in the highest rank of Canadian poets.Fiamengo, Marya is the author of 'Visible Living: Poems Selected and New', published 2006 under ISBN 9781553800422 and ISBN 1553800427.
