Riassunto

Fragmementos is the exercise of a broad poetic license by Milton Rosen, from his teenage years, through war and a working life, and into a Florida retirement. The poems reflect and refract nine decades of living, observing life and pondering the universe.

The poems present a scattered collection of lyrical, musing quests for unifying truths and whimsical and fantastical observations inspired by both science and science fiction. Descriptions of love in all its scintillations-flirtation, romance, illusion and loss-weave in and out; and four years of a youth spent in World War II are reflected in the beauty of far places and the poignancy and humor of a soldier's life.

'The pun is low.it makes us all see red," states one verse. Beware! Sprinkled through Fragmementos, like little firecrackers, are punning poems of the silliest sort in shades of scarlet, vermillion, and fire engine red!

Milton Rosen's poems have appeared regularly in Bell's Letters, and have been published in The Oak, Parnassus Literary Journal, Saint Joseph's Messenger and Poetry.com. Five Poems of Milton Rosen, composed by Daniel Guss in 1976-1977 for baritone singer, horn and violoncello, debuted at the University of Connecticut, Storrs in February, 1977.
