Yellow Studio

Stressing the urgency and high stakes involved in poetic composition, each poem in this collection is a sharp peak of concentration where intellect and emotion battle for control. Triggered by things such as a love affair or a configuration of light, these short pieces attempt to record the mysterious and rare coincidences between the realm of idea and the world of perception.

Stephen Romer is a poet and a lecturer at the University of Tours in France. He is the author of Idols, Plato's Ladder, and Tribute.
