In Candilaso: A Poetic Sweet, the poems explore the beauty nature provides: purple fog under El Escorial outside Madrid, Spain, from turmoil to thankfulness to God for recovering from sickness, gleaming blue eyes by strong light reflection and vase artistry silhouetted by a woman reaching out for affection as she sings a German Lied. These are just a small sample of what you will delve into when reading this book.
This book is a continuation of the style found in Casey Krysztofik's previous book, Tanka Cavalcade: Referring not to toy construction trucks, except now free from self-restricted poetry form. It includes an epigraph poem about lessons being ignored by some from history.
