O knihe

Kairós is Fotoula Reynolds' fourth poetry collection. In this delightful volume Fotoula once again seamlessly blends vocabulary from the English and Greek languages. This interplay represents her two worlds, with integral themes of time, place, belonging, friendship, loss and grief. This journey is towards enlightenment-appropriately, Fotoula means 'light of god' in Greek. Full of practical philosophy, woven throughout the book are poems describing the deep pain and loneliness that comes with having loved: 'Grief comes and/Goes as it pleases'. Memories of precious moments spent with a dear friend are interspersed with the anguish of knowing that such opportunities are finite. Yet there is beauty in bereavement echoed in the elements, in nature, in shared moments. In other poems, we are invited into Fotoula's childhood home in Melbourne, Australia, while others are inspired by her Greek heritage.Individually, each poem is a work of art; in combination, a strong narrative emerges with an overarching motif of time. In Kairós Fotoula gently reminds us to make the best use of the time available, right now, through her deep-rooted philosophy, with her trademark disposition of love, friendship, gratitude and grace.
