The first book of poetry by American architect, author and artist Hollace M. Metzger.
Metzger was educated in the US, London and Venice, Italy before settling into the New York and Paris arts scenes for the past eight years. Recently, she has been prolific in writing while performing in public salons in New York City and while traveling across Western Europe.
In addition to writing, her poetic endeavors include collaborations with composers in the US, UK, Canada, across the EU and Romania.Through words, Observing the Labyrinth's renaissance appeal unfolds, revealing itself mysteriously but with refreshing honesty. It will take you on a journey of mind, space and time travel from the past into the future with transporting descriptions of place, of space and the bitter-sweetness of urban life paired with optimism and deep sensual undertones. Through the Labyrinth, you will find a glimpse into the library of the next generation of poets. [64 poems, 67 b/w photos] ASIN# B004J6QAJ6

"A woman who writes poetry for both men and women!"
Miss Metzger has swooned her online audience into a frenzy and after attending a reading of her work in Dublin in July, I must say, her voice, performance and words remain in mind for months afterwards.
Congratulations on your success and citation in Magazine BLU! I have bought three copies since you signed my first and intend to give them as gifts to people who would be very moved by your unique take on life and the uplifting result of being part of your audience.
Indeed, Observing the Labyrinth WILL be and IS a perfect addition to the library of the next generation of poets.
Thank you.

"Mark Warriner, Florida"
Hollace is the quintessential jazz writer. Her poetry has a gonzo journalistic observation about it.
The montage of images, together with her impressions is how most of us really see life as we experience it. It's as if she turn on a video camera to her brain and recorded it as it happens. Reading it is both voyeuristic and at the same time touches a personal cored within us. In that regard, vulnerability becomes a two way street.
Buy her book but with the understanding it will be a highly personal experience.

"Athens, Architecture & Attitude"
I met Hollace in Athens where I bought her book. Knowing her, reading her and knowing her again is a delight. Her philosophy on life is revitalizing - contemporary but romantic. Whenever I open her book I am reassured that I am not alone, that my dreams are closer than I realize and that it's okay to think most things I think but hide from other people.
Thank you for spreading your magic in Greece. We needed some. We needed to remember where we came from - our own minds and experiences.

"worth far more than the price of admission "
to read the words of Hollace Metzger is to get a glimpse into the mind of a truly gifted artist. much like everything else she does, (photography, painting, architecture...ect...) all of her soul is put into every poem she writes. inspiring, brave, sensual, sexual...these words barely scratch the surface of this amazing book of highly personal poems.
buy it, read it for yourself, that's all i can say.
