Book Reviews of Gypsy Cante: Deep Song of the Caves
Book Review: Distilled life experience
Summary: 5 Stars
This slim volume contains well-chosen and poetic quotations about flamenco as well as the poetry itself with translation. Most of the lyrics are 4 lines, relatively short lines so that the poetry must be clear and precise - nothing extraneous or wasted. An example:When daylight comes
my griefs begin to grow;
only the shadows of darkest night
comfort my soul.
If haiku is the poetry of observation, observation of what is true (in a Buddhist sense), these poems are the poetry of passion - pleasurable and/or horrible. This is not a book simply for flamenco-philes; rather it is a book for all interested in passionate humanity.
