5.0 out of 5 stars The Stars Will Remember
Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2024
Perhaps in a future ions away, the stars will remember life on earth, the life of planets, animals, and humans, which is precisely what Nolcha Fox is writing about in End of Earth, a document of that life in poetic lines about people, places, and things in her past and present. Her poems, each of them, are complimented by Mike Armstrong’s paintings,
that are vivid, abstract, and evoke impressions suited to the particular mood of each poem. In her point of view, sensibilities, and brevity, Fox is our contemporary Emily Dickinson, and very much herself, her own person.
5.0 out of 5 stars a stunning collaboration of art and poetry

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The free verse poems speak of grief and loss. The abstract art is just as soulful. I highly recommend the book!
5.0 out of 5 stars An Exemplar on Collaboration That Includes Beauty and Poetry
Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2024
Nolcha Fox has always been a sharp and intuitive writer, using serrated incisions of the word to establish truth, humor, and other weapons of choice to create her perfect reality, or to showcase the diseased realities we prefer not to see. Her collaboration with Mike Armstrong is a stroke of genius, as his images perfectly enhance Nolcha’ s poetry, or is it the other way around? It is this dissonance which I am thrilled to experience through End of Earth!
5.0 out of 5 stars Stellar fusion of art and poetry

In this eclectic collection “End of Earth” by Nolcha Fox and Mike Armstrong, you will enjoy the ceremony of words and images in perfect harmony. Nolcha Fox’s pen matches perfectly with Mike Armstrong’s brush strokes to explore the nuanced landscape of human emotions. I like to recommend this book to all the book lovers specifically to those who love to relish the vibrancy of life most poetically. Though one can read the book in a single sitting, each poem demands engagement, reflection, and the courage to face the brutal truth. These free verses celebrate variegated emotions and interplay of imagery. Cynicism catches the image of vultures waiting to feast on the carcasses. At the backdrop of a citrus sunset, someone preserves the warmth of love in sharing an orange, half. Sun emerges like a bulky woman kissing the mountains. Unrequited love is represented by a red poppy flower aimed as a bullet to the soulless shell that bounces it off. Fox’s poetry is like fragments of images, poignant glimpses of human existence, uncomfortable yet honest. If you are ready to assemble those fragments of expression and fill the silence between what is said and left unsaid, then this book is for you. Read this book as a challenge, as a puzzle, as a brazen explosion of human vulnerability.
