“Elisavietta Ritchie’s work is original,
varied and exciting, and has been
growing steadily in scope and control. The core of
her poems is vitality.
Grim, joyous, exuberant or erotic, they have a strong
and vivid life.”
Josephine Jacobsen
US Poet Laureate, 1971-73
“Witty, sharp, sensual, possessed of a scientist’s
eye for the precise detail,
the memorable image. Elisavietta Ritchie is in love
with the natural world
of maggot, freezing bilge, the “owl on unheard
wings,” “berries fed on ash
and blood,” “branches with lavender fire.”
She brings a tuned ear for the
music of language, a storyteller’s gift and a
generosity of spirit that delights
as it informs.”
Colette Inez
“Elisavietta Ritchie’s poetry combines a
Byzantine elegance with straightforward
plain style honesty. The extraordinary range of her
interests: work,
love, sensuality, and man’s plight in a forlorn
civilization—is reinforced by
her exquisite regard for language and lively fascination
with the possibilities
of form.”

"Lyubomir Levchev, the poems
you write are written by the sky
and the street and the old people who died 400 years
ago and the little kids
who will be born 400 years from now and they are
poems of profound joy
and swift sorrow…" ~ William Saroyan

great number of new poems, uniquely translated
by Valentin Krustev, one of William’s oldest

Fires Eternal Morning is an exploration

perspectives,
its aspiration is also to stimulate the reader's
recollection of recent
and forgotten dreams.
