My review of "Hot Rain"

Check out my review of Hot Rain by Lo Galluccio:

When I was a teenager, a friend of mine once said that people never talk as intimately as when they are cleaning out their ears with a q-tip. I have learned over the years that, although an adolescent made this comment, there is quite some truth in it. Hot Rain is a witty, fast-paced collection of poems that focuses on language, memories, and sound. The author is like a q-tip, and Galluccio's going to get the wax out. More

Biography of Chiaia and Review of his work

"Chiaia’s formalistic experiments appeal to our curiosity, but his experiments in conjuring a familiar world in a personal language are compelling." Clarence Wolfshohl

"The poet is adept at mixing haiku with spontaneous bop prosody, stark visual illumination with a playful lyrical sense, resulting in effects that are the products of the paralogical discipline exemplary of all fine art. At times an otherworldly light shines through the lines and one can almost see the face of the poet caught in the mesh of time, unconscious of being glimpsed by a future self in anticipation of its emergence from the deep sleep of meditation upon its own reflection in the still waters of what Lorca called 'dark sounds.'" Joe La Rosa

"Chiaia is a unique trip-hoppy visionary of language and this book (Ten & Ampersands) encompasses war and peace, lyricism and death, and hit or miss mixes with strangers, especially women." Lo Galluccio

"Genius book." --Lo Galluccio | Ten Poems about East Asia & Kitsch Nebula Ampersands And

See a new review for my chapbook -- Ten Poems & Ampersands. Lo Galluccio at the Boston Area Small Press Scene had some very nice things to say.

Some great excerpts:
"What’s super-cool though is this book is also full of what I like about experimental work: his code lists, symbols, concrete language and wild juxtapositions of great post-modern verse."

"Chiaia is a unique trip-hoppy visionary of language and this book encompasses war and peace, lyricism and death, and hit or miss mixes with strangers, especially women. It’s cover is forest green swirled with an image of a battleship the color of money and spring."
