Reflections on Songs beyond Bounds

Clicking on the picture below will link you to my review of Marc di Saverio’s debut poetry collection, Sanatorium Songs (Palimpsest Press).

I first met Marc in the strangest way that I imagine you could meet someone–through the graffiti of a sanatorium lavatory.

Since our initial meetings, debates, and (ultimately, for all involved) lessons, we’ve remained friends in the most honest of ways. For this review, I wrote a ‘glosa’ (a classical poetic form) that incorporates the title and body of one of Marc’s haiku.
