Let Me Tell You, Let Me Sing!
by Kathie Giorgio
|
“A celebration of family in all its messy glory, these gorgeous poems, interspersed with shimmering haiku, share intimate details of Giorgio’s life story, as in the wonderful “History of Beds,” where beds slept in provide the commentary. This is a marvelous book. These are poems to be swooned over.” —Alexis Rhone Fancher, author of Brazen (NYQ Books), Triggered (MacQueens) and Junkie Wife (Moon Tide Press). New Release

"Giorgio creates beauty from dark spaces of contemplation and time."
—Larina Warnock, author of American Rural: Monologues
Let Me Tell You, Let Me Sing! boldly expresses the reach and impact of poetry. This collection from Pushcart Prize nominee Kathie Giorgio's work shows her own ability to reach out into different styles, different issues, different tones, and different forms of poetry. From haiku to prose to even a poem put together by the subject lines of received emails, there is no topic left unexplored.
Giorgio's poetry speaks to everyone...even to those who claim not to like or even understand poetry. Immerse yourself, indulge yourself, and enjoy everything that poetry brings.
