Publisher's Synopsis
In Roald Hoffmann's fourth collection of poetry, 'Soliton', we face the full scope and power of his outlook -- he writes of nature and bittersweet love, Jewish themes and his Holocaust survival. His poems build on phrases and words under stress, with great respect for the power of the language. Sometimes they are funny, and always carefully observed and reflective. His work is intriguing, mysterious, ambitious, and accomplished.
