Reflections On a Smile (ePub)

Dentist Creates Passionate Smiles With Poetry

New book of poems by dentist dispenses hundreds of impulse fleeting expressions with passionate imaginations of lips and smiles.

Reflections On A Smile, Poems To Passion, by Lester Sawicki DDS is a company of brief poems that glide into the world of lips and smiles and all the emotions they yearn to reveal just outside his working palette of teeth and gums.

AUSTIN, Texas -- Reflections On A Smile, Poems To Passion, by Lester Sawicki DDS offers a gathering of quick pondering on the enigma of lips and smiles and their many moods. Each reflection is brief but while some are light on their worldly wings, others are saddled with melodramatic trappings.

According to Sawicki, 36 years into his dental career he discovered lips more sensitive than fingertips and started to explore the mystical, sensual, humorous and sometimes psychical scarring trimmings of lips and smiles that embellished the circle of teeth he treated. Writing poetry seemed like the most suitable style to express the emotional effort of trying to achieve a more collective consciousness of his vocation.

Sawicki now sees the dental world in more complex terms than he did as young aspiring dentist. His poems range from his personal experiences with love and the human condition to an almost abstract way of describing the magical texture of a smile on stage everyday in his dental theatre. "Even Frank Sinatra would be hard put to rival Sawicki when it comes to thoughts on lips and all they speak of." Kirkus Indie

"Sawicki tenders hundreds of sudden, short atmospherics on the subject of lips and smiles. Even Frank Sinatra would be hard put to rival Sawicki when it comes to thoughts on lips and all they speak of. What he offers here is a company of quick

reflections-spontaneous-seeming, like brief poems-on lips and smiles and their many moods. He won't be tied down to any one perspective; he's all over the lower-facial map. Each musing is spare, but while some are light on their worldly feet, others are freighted with emotional baggage, little islands of attitude. Some of the headings feel a bit too Halmark-y: "Life Is Better When Your Smile Is At Your Best" or "The Only Difference Between A Smile And A Frown Is In The Way Your Heart Speaks." The better material gives you something to chew on. They may be the haikulike utterances: "Black magic is when a smile becomes the ghost of lips," or "Disoriented lips liberated an emerging gale of abandoned hallucinating smiles." Others are runic: "Quivering lips lingered smiling over juicy morsels before scurrying the bits onto a sprung up wildly lashing tongue," or "A smile that denounces its lips bears a darker shadow than three moons orbiting over a black forest." Some have a bebop syncopation: "All a smile has to do is grab some lips with invisible jazz and go for broke," or "Smiles act polite, consent to an encounter, kidnap lips, and watch out because dumb love will get you busted." Some are bitter or smoky, some make strange leaps or dabble in the alchemy of a moue, others reach for the cosmic: "Bubbling smile crooned the prettiest song ever

heard through pink petal lips gentler than a whispering choir of treasured angels." There is also bitterness and anger, hellfire and brimstone: "Lips so numb with false smiles preached by a red-eyed devil on judgement Sunday." [sic] Fleet grazings upon the mouth, by turns cerebral, then sensuous." Kirkus Indie
