Rimbaud’s Echo, Renata Emther A Brief Synopsis Rimbaud’s Echo (ISBN 0-9787247-0-4) is Renata McCormish’s first collection of poetry, published under her pseudonym Renata Emther. Part I (Uxor Verborum) reflects her Czech roots and love for nature, history, art, and literature. Many of her poems pay homage to great historical figures as well as little known men and women around the world. Part II (White Fire) focuses on the constant presence of (inner and outer) war in our lives, and unconditional love for her children and all forms of innocence. With calm ferocity, Emther explores the best and the worst in human nature, and aims to transmute pain and despair into a visionary sun. In Part III (Dawn), her voice mellows into a plea for selfless friendship and love. Her metaphors take readers from darkness into a symbolic dawn. The entire collection of 111 poems, written in her pre-MFA voice, addresses the world both the way it is and should be. Rimbaid's Echo is available for purchase at Amazoon.com!
