Jeannine Pitas
Mystery to Me 1863 Monroe St., Madison, Wisconsin 53711
press release: “The poems in Things Seen and Unseen do what true poetry has always done: they reinvent the world and, in so doing, reinvent ourselves.” – Ricardo Sternberg, Poet and Professor Emeritus, University of Toronto
“Pitas creates a universe like a snow globe the size of a planet and delicate as a Christmas ornament. Look inside!” – Ronna Bloom, Poet in Community, University of Toronto
“Jeannine Marie Pitas’ absorbing poetry in Things Seen and Unseen turns on its relentless discovery of new myths of self-making. One poem follows another in an unfolding of surprise as stories of the self evolve to confront, transform or where necessary escape the limits, sometimes the terror, of fact.” – A.F. Moritz, Poet Laureate of Toronto
