Title
The Salt and the Song - Paperback
by Virginia Petrucci (Author)
Petrucci's The Salt and the Song stands at the edge of humanity and gazes beyond the limitations of earth to remind us that we are inseparable from nature, that we are made of water, that the moon is not a stand-in for a muse. If eternity had an echo that we could actually hear it would be the song that rises out of these poems. The power of a crushing tide and the yearning of the sea tethers Petrucci's reader as these poems navigate uncharted parts of the ocean that surges through all of us.
-Nicole Santalucia, winner of the 2018 Charlotte Mew Prize
-Giana Angelillo, author of Psychopink In The Salt and the Song, Petrucci highlights women's experiences with images from the natural world. With bold and vivid lines, she unfolds beautiful settings that draw on each of the reader's senses. The variety of structures keep the reader engaged, and each poem fits naturally with the last in this cohesive collection. By giving emotions to the moon and sun and sea, Petrucci makes them appear closer and nearer to us. Along the way, her clever, creative wordplays offer delightful surprises. The final poem leaves the reader with a sense of unfinished business, emphasizing the lifelong process of growth.
