I don't like much poetry, but I like Frank's. And I'm not just saying that because he works for me and I have to.

there's a point when you see something and realize it's beautiful. and it's sharp like breath that you're not getting, and you want to keep it in your head forever. matagrano, in this incredible collection, captures it, and it kills you because it's perfect. everything about his verse (from the rhythm to the vivid images) is amazing, and you'll want every word, and more. in a word: wow.

Frank has a way of putting words into your mind that somehow paint a weary picture of a fragmented scene that picques your interest and captures your intellect. You may find yourself questioning how it affects you, and I think that in and of itself is the essence of good words. Frank's got a few of them.

Without wasting a syllable, Frank Matagrano creates multi-leveled visions as pure and deep as the human imagination can go. The beauty is absolute, sharp and at times downright painful. A brilliant collection from someone who I hope to read much more from in future.

Buy it. Read it. Revel in the impression it leaves on your humanity.

It is rare to find a modern writer whose poetry is as inspirational as Mr. Matagrano's. His words force you to examine life while providing rhythms you can dance to. Genius.

Mr. Matagrano spins verbal webs that no psyche can escape. His work will leave you welcoming his literal cocoon like an L.L. Bean Vintage Stripe Yarn-Dyed Blanket on a rainy, mid-October afternoon. Pure essence!
