Caught by the Wind

“With this collection of poems, Gargiulo declares his firm commitment to discerning and forging links between time and emotion, space and thought, . . . nature and imagination. In his experienced hands, rhythms and fragments of nature acquire a new dynamic ebb and flow. A maple leaf turns into a Zen koan, the winter rain into a friend, eagles and butterflies into silent newsbearers. Such discourse between the external reality and the inner world has a scintillating and soul-sustaining quality. Bravo!”
—SALMAN AKHTAR, MD, Psychoanalyst, poet and author, most recently of Symptoms of Belonging (2018).
