BOOK 7, excerpts from Volumes I-X  (2019)
ISBN # 978-0-359-40270-0

A volume of Love, for Lovers.

In the spirit of St. Valentine’s Day and dedicated to the author’s mother and father on their 50th wedding anniversary, agάpe [simply love]  promises to be a unique edition, fully revealing Metzger’s profound romantic side woven throughout and extracted from her six books to date. Often transcribed directly from the eyes and experience of who many have called a romantic existentialist, Metzger’s contemporary perspective is often infused with the sentiment of the troubadour, reflecting that of Chaucer’s 14th-Century shift of the religious holiday to a day for romance and courtly love.

Comprised of her more positive, hopeful and courtly poems, agάpe [simply love] exhibits Metzger’s fervent belief in, and infallible hope for, the preservation of romantic love in society, spanning 15 years of traveling, observing, and living among different cultures.

OUT | TUO

April 2018

 –  See the promotional video :  OUT | TUO (2018)  –

BOOK 6, Volumes IX-X  (2018)
ISBN # 978-1-387-70051-6
poetry, writings, artwork & photography  –  Paris; France; U.S. Midwest & Alaska, United States; Athens, Piraeus, Hydra & Poros Islands, Greece

In the winter of 2012-13 and shortly after receiving French residency, Metzger left a life she cultivated in Europe and many dreams behind. OUT | TUO follows a five-year journey to recover those dreams, if not see them in a new light and from an altered, coming-of-age perspective. Now characteristic of the author, her Sixth Book of Poetry and Writings leans on existentialist thought to stress the idea of how, in fact, “The only way out is through”, and while living in a land much more foreign than the America and Western Europe she left behind – America, ten years later.

As previewed in The Brooklyn Voice, Peripheral Surveys, live on Ireland’s radio, by organizations such as IdeogrammaSidestreets and The European Parliament, emitted at an exhibition benefit for Tibet in New Zealand, and a number of its pages released from the sky at a peace rally organized to unite a divided city in Cyprus…

∃VOΓVE is a photo-poetic prospectus suggesting Man’s responsibility to shape social evolution away from the habits of the Information Age, to better communicate, to touch and be touched.∃VOΓVE displays Metzger’s ability to dig profoundly into social, political and existentialist philosophies, to question and adjust readers’ perspective by providing alternative views. Sensitively reading human emotion while highly conscious of her environment, Metzger prolongs moments, inhales existence, then writes in deep, steady exhales which are meditative, sensual and intimate.  – – ∃VOΓVE est un prospectus photo-poétique qui suggère la responsabilité de l’Homme à façonner son évolution sociale loin des sentiers de l’ère de l’information, pour mieux communiquer, toucher, et être touché. ∃VOΓVE affiche la capacité d’ Hollace Metzger à creuser profondément dans la vie sociale, philosophies politiques et existentialiste, à remettre en question et ajuster le point de vue des lecteurs, en leur apportant simplement des vues alternatives. De cette sensibilité à lire l’émotion humaine, et d’une conscience forte de son environnement, Metzger prolonge ces instants, respire l’existence, puis écrit avec passion, libère progressivement ce qu’il y a de méditatif, sensuel et intime.

2023, TBA – H.M. Metzger : POETRY, BOOK #8 Release

 

June 2023 – Metzger performed in collaboration with musician & composer, Francesco Munao (Florence, Italy) at the Villa Poggia Reale in Rufina. Videos of the live performance and their continued collaboration can be seen on Youtube (more to follow!): “Sunset Rush“, “Going Home“, “Thunder“, “Love Making Love“, “Sharing Dreams“, “Promise-Proposal“…

2 November 2022 (June 2023) – Metzger has been invited to perform her Poetry at a multi-artist staged evening event proceeding the 2023 International Convention of English Language Schools in Rufina, Italy.

2020-2022 – A selection of poetry by H.M. Metzger has been added to the U.C. Berkeley Creative Writing (CRWRIT) course syllabus, citing various independent contemporary American poets.

1 November 2022 – Currently in collaboration (reactionary poetry, vocals) with Florentine multi-instrumentalist Francesco—-(TBA), in response to the production of his first major solo project. More to come!

13 October 2022 “La Quête de l’Absolu”.
Currently in a revival collaboration with percussionist H. Meziane (France/Algeria)…  Sharing a profound adoration for the poetry of Djalâl-od-Dîn Rumî (1207-1273) and its extensive comparative translations, Metzger-Meziane were also roommates in Reims, France, ten years ago. When they first met, they could not speak the same language – The underlying theme of this collaboration consists of the idea of how we communicate through common understanding of literatures, and form lasting bonds with others, without the use of language exchange. More to come!

October-December 2021 – Currently writing new Poetry pieces for the December ’21 exhibition of Italian surrealist photographer, Stefano Tommasi, entitled “Giorni”. The resultant collaboration includes multiple texts written in response to his work throughout the past year, some extracted archives, and some specifically for Tommasi’s premier solo exhibition (Napoli, Italy), its respective book, recitations of other poetries inspired by the first meeting of the two artists, and a video recitation / installation (in French) at the Castel dell’Ovo.

18 July 2021 – Metzger has been invited to participate in a special edition of World Women Writers, by author & professor Dr. Ajit Kumar, scheduled to be released later next year.

17 July 2021– Metzger & composer/sound-experimentalist Micka Luna have continued their journey into yet another collaborative work together, the two artists collaborating and exchanging ideas since 2006.

25 June 2021 – Metzger’s poem Rondine (from the book Transcriptions of Time: The Collected Works of Hollace M. Metzger (2009)), written in Paris to Vincenzo de Crescenzo’s romance “Rondine al Nido”, has been interpreted as the inspiration for a short opera, the poem sung and translated into Greek, by a Greek composer in Athens and a Greek mezzo-soprano in London. The composer said, “Whenever I had lost hope I listened to this poem, …and I feel I can do everything, feeling strong and believed.” “I traveled half the world because of Metzger’s verses”. More to follow…

April 2019
– Metzger’s poetry from the Why the WilloW series (Paris, France) to be published by Paragon Press.

 

 

ETERNAL STORY (2011)
Book 4, Volume VI – Paris, Mayenne & Normandy, France

“Everything to do with Hollace M. Metzger is art, every word she utters transmogrifies itself into poetry so that one cannot help but come back to the work again and again.  Like history, it is cyclical.  And with this new book; daylight has broken.  Her voice and her poems can never tire one.  Her paintings are an endless kaleidoscope of labyrinthine meanings and emotions, they are stubbornly direct in conveying their message, in making themselves felt.  We are bravely offered, raw and throbbing, the timely truths that can sometimes be problematic, painful, disorderly and ugly and we are shown how all can turn to beauty and joy at a slight change of perspective.  They are like the sun which rises and sinks diurnally yet every rising heralds a new dawn. Can one but help be immersed in Metzger’s work, it keeps me dazzled at nights.  I read everything cyclically…”  [ Read the full Review by author Rehan Qayoom (June 2011) ]

“The latest collection of poetry by multi-artist Hollace M. Metzger is a dazzling yet intimate portrait of the author–perhaps, her most personal yet. Eternal Story is a testimony to life, proving that love and art are timeless, forever new to those who choose to take notice. Eternal Storyis Metzger’s “dream within a dream”–a world of alternate realities over which the reader has limited control. It is the world existing as we individually experience it, a reality which we are capable of changing and re-creating with the belief that anything is possible. Thrumming, beating, exposed and raw, Eternal Story is a reminder that happiness and love must first come from within–we are all our own Eternal Story. Hollace M. Metzger is one of the greatest existentialist authors of our time, and I highly recommend her work.”  – Review by novelist Christina Westover (July 2011)

ISBN # 978-1-257-22212-4
Book 3, Volume V – Paris, France

“I do not want to emphasise the “modernity” and “now” of Hollace Metzger’s poetry, an American poetess living in Paris, but there is something that roots though her feet and grows branches out of her hands…[Read More– Garry Franks, BOWL Publishers

“A visionary in the truest sense, Hollace M. Metzger once again inspires us to open our hearts and minds, noticing the subtleties presented in everyday life in her latest poetry collection “Why the Willow.” While “Transcriptions of Time” was about open-ended questions, “Why the Willow” asks readers to “BELIEVE.” Believe in thinking outside of the “box.” Believe in the male and female energies surrounding us, polar opposites which blend together to create something everlasting. Believe that the colors on a “painter’s palette” are nothing less profound than the colors of the human chakras.
“Why the Willow” commences at the end of the seasonal cycle in winter, though it isn’t a true beginning for a tree which has known many lives before–an ancient willow known for its medicinal properties, its significance in various religions, for its ability to shape and mold the living things around it. The book progresses through spring to summer, summer to autumn, revealing the truth behind world beliefs as really being a reflection of ourselves and what we choose to see. Complex, formidable and deeply moving, Hollace M. Metzger’s “Why the Willow” is timeless and a must read!” – Christina Westover, novelist

Transcriptions of Time - The Collected Poetic Works (2009)

Transcriptions of Time – The Collected Works of Hollace M. Metzger (2009)
ISBN # 978-1-257-26151-2
Volumes I – IV – New York, Dublin, Glasgow, London, Venice, Athens, Piraeus, Normandy, Toulouse, Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, Belgium, Lille & Paris

“In these poems: people, place and words dance together in a moment of time… [ Read More ]” – Garry Franks, BOWL Publishers

“While reading ‘Transcriptions of Time’, one has the feeling of witnessing history in the making. Her emotionally descriptive prose proves that she is one of the greatest existentialist writers of our time.
‘Transcriptions of Time’ is a journey without a definite destination, an open-ended book, because time is infinite. Brutally honest, the richly colored prose paints living breathing pictures, and makes tangible the intangible. Written from the viewpoints of various cities, one experiences the feeling of being invisible, insignificant, yet free all at once. It is a taleof remembrance, bringing to mind the various individuals a person comes into contact with in a lifetime. It beckons one to remember the sacred ancient places in this world now hidden by factories and concrete–for they still stand, and magic is all around us.
Hollace M. Metzger reminds us of the moon’s influence–its gravitational pull of one’s soul, one’s body, one’s mind. Like the moon, it is difficult to resist the gravitational pull of Metzger’s poetry.” – Christina Westover, novelist

Observing the Labyrinth from Heaven (2007, 2008)

Observing the Labyrinth from Heaven (2007, 2008)
ISBN # 978-1-257-13985-9
Volumes I & II – New York & Brooklyn, Dublin, Ireland; Glasgow, Scotland; London, UK; Venice & Burano Island, Italy; Athens & Piraeus, Greece; Normandy & Paris, France

The first book of poetry by American architect, author and artist Hollace M. Metzger.
Metzger was educated in the US, London and Venice, Italy before settling into the New York arts scene for the past eight years. Recently, she has been prolific in writing while performing in public salons in New York City and while traveling across Western Europe. In addition to writing, her poetic endeavors include collaborations with composers in the US, UK, Canada, across the EU and Romania.
Through words, The Labyrinth’s renaissance appeal unfolds, revealing itself mysteriously but with refreshing honesty. It will take you on a journey of mind, space and time travel from the past into the future with transporting descriptions of place, of space and the bitter-sweetness of urban life paired with optimism and deep sensual undertones. Through the Labyrinth, you will find a glimpse into the library of the next generation of poets.
