Salt Bride by Ilona Martonfi
Poetry. Women's Studies. The poems in this collection are sculpted like carnallite crystals and come together as elegiac meditations, drawing on history and mythology. Beauty and pathos are wound in a tangle of exile and find a home. Offering free verse, prose poems, haibun and haiku, Ilona Martonfi uses her poetry to build on her activism as a tool for achieving goals and taking a stand. The book's five sections are composed of poetry of witness, ekphrastic poems, resistance poems, erasure poems, dream poems, persona poems, elegies.
