Spring Days by Ion Corcos

“Spring Days is a collection that draws the reader into a series of moments in time, using vignettes of precise language that blur like pleasant memories. The poems within hint at the little unspoken and often unobserved corners of our surroundings, all beneath a pleasant springtime sky. Something soft and golden peeks through the lines in this collection, leading the reader through fields and along coastlines. This mini chapbook does the glorious work of reminding us that it is sometimes only upon reflection that we find ourselves able to sit with what we have really witnessed of the world around us.”

— Ariel K. Moniz, Co-founder & Editor of The Hyacinth Review

“Ion Corcos’s Spring Days is as fresh as its namesake. These poems capture the season’s dynamism in choppy water and breaking ground, in danger and transformation. There is peacefulness as well—red geraniums in a terra cotta pot, ripe yellow lemons hanging from a tree. These are pocket-sized poems to meditate on, rich with attention to the natural world.”

— Rebecca Lipperini, Editor-in-chief of Wild Greens Magazine
