A
lyrical,
book-length
poem
about
imagination,
beauty
and
loneliness
as
told
by
a
concubine
in
a
Palace of snow and ice.
In
an
old,
poor
village,
a
loutish
Grave
Listener,
an
impish
five-year-old
boy
and
his
stuffed
Bunny
are
up
against
a
strange
plague,
a
handsome
stranger
and
a
frightened,
vengeful town….
Amazon Review
"This
is
an
astonishing
piece
of
work.
In
today's
mumbling,
dumbed-down
world
an
author
that
actually
has
competent
command
of
the
language!
Amazing...
[The
Morphine
Fawn
is
the]
First
book
I
have
sampled
in
a
very
long
time
that
is
worth the price. Bravo!"

It
only
took
me
a
couple
of
poems
to
feel
the
flow
and
pattern
of
the
Fiasco
Galante's
genius.
You
truly
get
a
sense
of
his
bond
with
literature
in
the
beauty
of
his
writing.
His
poems
stretch
the
mind
of
the
reader;
many
a
time
I
learned
a
new
word
or
phrase.
His
rhyming
schemes
are
clever
and
fast-paced
and
definitely
humorous.
I
thoroughly
enjoyed
"I
Would
Be
Lovely
Then
a
Quick
Reply,"
which
I
found
quite
facetious
and
a
nice
surprise
amidst
the
rest
of
the
poems.
[He}
surely
has his unique style and is not afraid of showing it off.

For
those
of
us
lucky
enough
to
go
to
Purgatory,
where
human
nature
is
elemental,
unbridled
and
grotesque,
here's
the
book
of
the
unlucky
ones
who
happen to be with us.
A
spiritual
sonnet
sequence
that
hews
to
the
maggot,
or
the
eccentric
idea,
of
a
meditation
beset
on
all
sides.

The Encolpia (2011)
Set
during
the
Anthesteria,
when
the
Dead
return
and
the
wine
casks
are
opened,
each
poem
sings
the
life
in
festival, a visitation sure to evoke and enthrall.

Fiasco Galante (2014)
A
Satanic
masterpiece
for
the
modern
thinker,
this
book-length
poem
in
Rhyme
Royal
is
a
musical,
vortical
and
colorectal
romp,
with
all
the
wonderful
temerity
that
makes us human.
Slumgullion (2019)
(Poetry, 36 Pages, $9.00)
A
lush
and
louche
lyrical
tragicomedy,
at
once
a
shining
celebration
and
a
pensive
lament,
capturing
the
fullness
of
Life
in
all
its
human
tumult.
(Poetry, 95 pages, $16.00)

Behold
my
current
oeuvre.
I
think
you’ll
find
these
books
to
be
lyrical,
questionable
and
almost
possibly
non-mutagenic!
For
those
with
nut
sensitivities,
however,
please
read
these
books
with
the
covers
closed.

BookBag UK Review
“
The Grave Listeners
is a short tale of
the unexpected, rooted in human nature
and its existential preoccupations
with the supernatural. It's written by an
author confident in his style, able to
evoke time and place with an elegant
turn of phrase and not afraid to puncture
the tension with some robust humour.”
