Welcome to PlattWrites, a collection of literary works by Eugene Platt.
Nuda Veritas is Now Available
In this volume, beautifully produced by Revival Press, Eugene Platt invites us to travel with him on a survey of a long writing life in poems that cloak their craft and technique in language deceptively simple and direct. He confronts tragedies and disappointments without bitterness or sentimentality, finding joy and hope in unexpected places. Eugene’s poetry speaks from the heart with a clarity of vision and generosity of spirit which make this volume a delight to read.
—Michael Farry, Ph.D., Trinity College Dublin; author, The Age of Glass and Troubles.
Nuda Veritas is a celebration of life and death. The poems are expressed with eloquence, beauty, and grace. As in “Simple Words,” the poet “conveys the otherwise unconveyable” and in “A Widower’s Fifth September” brings tears with the words “to hold your hand in mine again and hear your voice.”
—Sue Walker, Ph. D., Tulane University; Poet Laureate of Alabama (2003-2012).
