Book Reviews of Last Supper of the Senses
Book Review: Kostos does it again
Summary: 5 Stars
In his second collection Kostos gives us another taste of his fine touch with language: always vibrant and never obscure. For me the most powerful piece in this new book is the long poem on the fate of the dauphin, the heir to the throne in the French Revolution. This poem captures all of the horror of the revolution as seen from the point of view of the little martyred boy. The book, divided as it is into sections devoted to each of the senses, invokes more types of imagery than one usually gets in a collection because Kostos has forced himself to titillate more than just the visual sense. This book is a wonderful read.
