Far from Algiers /
Marbrook, Djelloul (1934-....)
Far from Algiers / poems by Djelloul Marbrook - Kent : Kent State University Press, [2008] - (56 p.)
"How honored I am--how lucky--to have been able to choose this superb first book by Djelloul Marbrook that honors a lifetime of hidden achievement. . . . Sometimes the poems seem utterly symbolic, surreal; they are philosophical, historical, psychological, political, and spiritual. The genius is in the many ways these poems can be read. I kept being rewarded by new awarenesses of the poet's intentions, by the breadth and scope of the manuscript. As I read, I felt more and more that it was impossible that this was a first book. It seemed the writer knew exactly what to say, and, more importantly, exactly what to leave out."
