Lights & Mysteries is not a collection of poems. Despite its table of contents and apparently standard form, Thomas Centolella's work is a journey. Between these two covers lies a path rich with love and inspired by careful observation. Centolella writes in an intense, acute and passionate style that honors his experiences and blesses his reader. Never before have I read poems so personally evocative. Never before have I been so enriched by language, rhythm and hope.

I've just read "In the Evening we shall be Examined on Love." and it inspires and breaks the heart t once. Centolella might not have the name recognition of Mya Angelo, or other modern poets, but he schorched my sould deeper than they ever have or shall.
