Painting With Words: Poetry for a New Era by Dr Ian Prattis
Dr. Ian Prattis, critically acclaimed author of Failsafe; New Planet, New World; and Our World is Burning, now offers Painting With Words, a collection of intriguing, thought-provoking, insightful essays and poems reflecting on nature, the environment, society, war and our fragile planet.
“Painting with Words, Poetry for a New Era by Dr. Ian Prattis … poems that reflect the very soul of humanity… the voice is powerful, the poetic lines rhythmic, and the entire collection is filled with powerful imagery… opens new portals into reality… author articulates brilliantly on a variety of themes, from denouncing the horrors of war, to celebrating the seemingly mundane moments of life, to capturing the relationship between humanity and nature. Each poem is unique, expressing a thought, a reality, a moment in existence in a succinct manner. Some of the poems are very personal while others are universal in nature. This collection is as delightful as it is meaningful. You will read these poems and find yourself going back to them.” - Romuald Dzemo, 5-Star Review for Readers’ Favorite Magazine
“Via his poems’ multi-layered quality, Prattis takes the reader through the immensities of joy and pain, through the infinite and the mysterious. He dissects the dissonance of the modern world with the scalpel of his poetic musings, and describes the interflow between the human soul and the spirit of earth, paving his quest for spiritual evolution and higher meaning. Prattis’ poetry is a poetic narrative of our basest attributes as a species, our greed and propensity toward a savage violence, as well as our ability to love beyond the telling power of words. His verses awaken the sense of the infinite within us surging our hearts with the power of their message. They restore the possibility of the ancient dialogue between humans and nature, and… they restore a sense of optimism.”
- Jana Begovic, author, Poisonous Whispers; Editor, literary arts journal Ariel Chart.
