Charles Simic used to tell us that great poetry is a "superb serenity in the face of chaos," and that is where this volume of poetry finds its heart. An unflinching look at modern life and its personal chaos, whether it is the loss of a loved one, facing one's own mortality, or a range of other realities, Zampino shows us both the challenges and the options we have at our disposal in living a life worthwhile. He pays us the compliment of accurately describing modern reality - and then shows us why that is actually the power and the beauty that remains available to all of us.
- Andre Vlok, Owner and Conflict Specialist at the Conflict Resolution Centre, South Africa and author of Hamlet's Mirror: Conflict and AI Sometime in the twentieth century - right around 1963, if I had to say - poetry lost its heart and its soul and its curiosity about, for a lack of a better term, the "permanent things." Thomas Zampino found them. They're in these verses.
