The title of this fascinating collection of Lidia Kosk's poems with the auspicious presence of the number nine, invites curious readers to a joy ride through a garden of inspiration, craft, pleasure, and a treasure chest of feelings and images revealed at every turn. Language lovers will delight in recognizing and exploring close and remote language family ties - Romance, Slavic, Germanic, Finno-Ugric - through their multiple incarnations in these poems. Anchored in nature, Lidia's poetry evokes the sounds and feel of water, sun, wind, sand, which in turn bring back memories of events at times tinged with sadness or regret, memories of war time and loss. But this connection with nature is also hopeful, with love and nostalgia of home, light's triumph over darkness, and vivid sensory expressions of energy and purpose. Although the impermanence of life events seems inevitable, special moments and emotions do settle in the heart and she transformed them into poems.
