Mandel sonnets (and one for a reward)

Actually, the third edition of the collection Mandel Sonnets is a small but eloquent imprint of the breadth of artistic scope that Miloň Čepelka enjoys. Without wishing to compare him to a great man, that he helped discover, with "volcano, that has buried itself." we must bow to the variety of forms, with which he expresses his never-ending fascination with the world around him. The actor, playwright, lyricist, singer and all-round writer has chosen here the poetic form that is probably closest to his heart today. His sonnets captivate with their successful marriage of poetry and civility, by forgotten words, with which, in the spirit of the motto cum grano salis, he subtly flavours the modern language of his poems, and intimate experience, cursed in perfect form, ...thus giving memory to the greatest poet of them all, Ivan Blatny. Unlike him, however, he rejoices that he has found a woman who shares his love and respect for the past, and so his verses sound mainly a love note.

It is a confession, a tribute to beauty in its various forms, a poetry understandable to everyone, for the poet is convinced that "old forms in times of confusion maintain order". A gift suitable for a lady's handbag amongst lipsticks and powder puffs and combs and scattered small coins. And in the library anywhere, perhaps in front of the spines of big books, which his small, gentle size cannot cover, and therefore they will not be jealous of him. You will also be rewarded with a beautiful Sonnet on a Futile Dream, added to this new edition.
