Here is a sample poem from the collection:

Odessa

City of contrasts, where East meets West, Where the past and present intertwine, Where beauty and decay are intertwined, And the spirit of the people shines.

Your streets are a tapestry of history, Your buildings a testament to time, Your people a mosaic of cultures, A symphony of voices, a rhyme.

I have walked your streets, breathed your air, Felt the pulse of your beating heart, And I have been captivated by your charm, Odessa, you are a work of art.

If you are looking for a book of poetry that will transport you to another world, then Odessa Poems is the perfect choice. Patricia Kirkpatrick's evocative and lyrical poems capture the essence of this enigmatic city, and will leave you with a lasting impression of its beauty, its contradictions, and its indomitable spirit.
