The Latitude of a Mercy

Poetry. In his third collection; THE LATITUDE OF A MERCY; Stefan Lovasik offers a testament of unflinching immediacy; conflicted sensitivity; and lyric grace--poem after poem; wise without presumption; pared down to a breed of silent speech; the stubborn legacy of what must be said and all that never can. Lovasik brings into striking focus the landscape of war; the lasting physical; moral and psychological consequences of it; and the resilience of the human spirit. THE LATITUDE OF A MERCY is a timeless; deeply moving and luminous book.
