Overview
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.
