SCIONS OF THE MALCONTENT

Beyond the originality of his indictory title, MacViban's collection is a poetic pilgrimage that is intricate and haunting, intriguing and charged, crisp and lyrical in its varying turns and twists. Yes, as in his virtuosity the poet reveals an enchanting kaleidoscope of tones and tunes, of styles and guiles that tissues all fine poetry. It is poetry that compels you, yieldingly and gratefully so, to re-open the collection any instant you feel like reading inspiring lines...because the poet is fresh and honest, his crystal talent distills subliminal poetry into drops of dawn's pure dew. Really, at his age this genius of song fondles his verb beyond the qualities of his time!
