The Passkeys by George Pavlopoulos
4.0

An obscure little translated chapbook that moves between fantasy and reality. The title poem, "The Passkeys", is probably the finest description of the problem of poetry I've ever come across - how to access it, how it can be interpreted in a multitude of ways. "Poetry is an open door"... well, sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. That single poem pushed my rating up from three to four stars. It deserves to be better known!
