Sarasota VII Author:Lo Galluccio "Reading Sarasota VII is like watching--no, staging--a play that happens to be written in poetry. By playing with structure, Galluccio has done something akin to Calvino where the structure itself is a character and a part of the plot, and you're right in the thick of it. You need to read it." --Ralph-Michael Chiaia, poet, Ten Poem... more »s & Ampersands, Coatlism Press
"Passionate, poignant, and concise, Lo Galluccio's Sarasota VII presents us with a story of loss and raw delinquent energy, woven into a great surreal web of metaphors and magic. Crafted with care and lucid honsty, this poetic prose offers its readers an intense vision of real and imaginary journeys across universal and interior landscapes. 'We write as if it matters, so it does. We love as if it matters, so it does,' declares the author." --Flavia Cosma, poet of Gothic Calligraphy and Season of Love, among others
"As in the heavens, there is much beauty and much destruction, where even light cannot escape black holes, and 'nothing's pure and nothing's stable.'" Galluccio takes the reader on a journey from a hotel room in florida into the expansive cosmos of the soul, revealing a woman caught up between passion and intellect, raging to be free while seeking to merge; loving, losing, dominating and submitting in her evolution to reconnect and be whole." --Karen Bowles, Publisher, Luciole Press« less
