Review from the back cover:

PAUL WYLIE, 1992 OLYMPIC SILVER MEDALIST: "Mark Brazaitis has taken the ice rink and turned it into a space where real people live, dream, hope, hate, and fear. This is not your after-school-special view of the skating community, but a deep dive into the drama (and humor) of the characters who inhabit it. Brazaitis has an uncanny way of bringing to life heartbreaking, often quirky people you may or may not know from being around a rink or anyplace where people are passionately pursuing outsized dreams with their entire being."

Review:

GREGORY VINCENT ST. THOMASINO: "Rich Murphy is an observer of the American experience. This is poetry as witness, in the vein of Emerson’s “transparent eyeball” and Whitman’s poet-journalist, a voice compelling both in its levelheadedness and in its wholeheartedness. At once poetical and empirical, both in conception and in its deposition, this is real-world verse with the force of parable—and the punch of recognition. "

Reviews from the back cover:

JOHN MATTHIAS: "one of the best poets now writing in America"

MICHAEL SIMMS: "a genius for lyric precision, a painter’s eye for detail...maybe the most impeccable ear for the music of the American language of any poet since Robert Frost”

GUY DAVENPORT: “The strength of American writing today is in such good work.”

 

 

INTERSECTION ON NEPTUNE

a poetry collection from
Donna J. Gelagotis Lee

now available from

Press Release

Review from the back cover:

SANDER ZULAUF: "To read the poem titles in the contents pages of Intersection on Neptune is to ride the Cyclone at Coney Island and get knocked down by a big breaker at the Jersey shore. When I encounter the power of these poem moments, memories and lots of foods surge healing empathy through my body, mind, heart, and soul. In these pages, Donna J. Gelagotis Lee fully celebrates the American immigrant experience and creates a neighborly pastoral of people helping other people, of people knowing other people in their communities, of people singing together and playing together and yearning together, a New York and a New Jersey long gone and deeply missed."
