Open Wide

About the Book

Open Wide is the second book of verse written by Enri Vilmos. It is a curious collection of poems on a number of themes that cover the comic, dramatic, and absurd aspects of life. The book deals with subjects from the environment to adventure at sea and sometimes steps back in time to record the antics of minstrels and knights busy at work and play. It is the intention of the poet in this anthology to give an immediate and descriptive portrait on all the topics without laboriously adhering to rhyme and meter. The book Open Wide is another stage in the development of the writer in an effort to find his own voice!

About the Author

Enri Vilmos is a poet and musician born in the UK but has now settled in the beautiful countryside in the heart of Hungary. It is in this quiet setting that he is able to practice the difficult skills of playing classical guitar and writing poetry. It was late in his life that he decided to study for an arts degree and music diploma, which he accomplished after several years of arduous and difficult endeavor. The author of Open Wide also trained to be a teacher during this period and taught and lectured at many schools and colleges in Britain on many subjects but mainly music theory. “Music has always been my first love. But poetry is a creative process that gives another outlet of expression in which one is able to communicate ideas and emotions and stir the imagination to a different level.” —Enri Vilmos, BA hons
