Abstract

Seven Seasons, a collection of poems by Detelina Stoykova-Asenov will take you places you have been before, but now find transformed by her keen eye and spontaneous reaction to all she encounters.

A psychoanalyst, writer, and educator, the author will gently pull you into her enchanted realm of the poetic, where her mind wanders freely between nature and human experience, to reveal a world anew, as if washed by the morning ocean at the shore, where she writes most of her poems. Stoykova-Asenov states that the Seven Seasons’ poems “incorporate” her experience in a world old and new, and we, the readers, are lucky to follow her poetic journey.
