Aprašymas

In today’s high-tech fast paced world when many of us live in a virtual world full of pretenses, Erin Zinzilieta-Pennington’s poetry brings us back to real America. Her deep-rooted love for the Midwest permeates through her portrayal of cornfields and sunsets, the blue collar man, the coal miner, the single mother, the love for her family. Her language, like the stories she tells in her poems, is authentic, direct, stripped of mannerisms and clichés, telling it like it is, evoking our most basic and underlying emotions. Her poems convey the struggles and pain of hard working Americans, yet a sense of survival and victory pervade. Reading Erin’s poems is like drinking a cup of coffee and eating apple pie in a Norman Rockwell painting. It’s a journey back home.

The poetry of Erin Pennington is about life, from reminiscing about our youth to dealing with a major medical issue—it’s honest and raw emotion about the “real” world, the world that most folks deal with on a daily basis. The greatest compliment I can pay to any writer is when I read their work and find myself racing through a sentence, just so I can see what the next sentence says. The work of Erin Pennington certainly merits that praise. It’s gripping, riveting, and regardless of your preferred reading material, it’s a must-read.
