A
lyrical,
book-length
poem
about
imagination,
beauty
and
loneliness
as
told
by
a
concubine
in
a
Palace
of
snow
and ice. (45 pages)
Fiasco Galante (2014)
A
book
of
poetry
that
sings
the
high
and
low
of
life
with
equal
cecity.
Beauty
and
ugliness,
joy
and
sorrow
all
met
with
gratitude
and
delight. (89 pages)
Behold
my
current
oeuvre.
I
think
you’ll
find
these
books
to
be
lyrical,
questionable
and
almost
entirely
non-mutagenic!
For
those
with
sensitive
livers,
however,
please
read
these
books
upside-down.

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!"

The Purgatory Elm (2018)
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.

"As
we
look
to
faith
and
our
thoughts,
what
comes
out
may
be
beauty.
The
Encolpia
is
a
collection
of
poetry
from
William
Frank
as
he
explores
poetic
tradition
by
bending
and
warping
it
in
his
own
way
to
create
an
original
message.
The
Encolpia
is
poetry
worth
thinking
about,
recommended."

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. (340 pages)

The Encolpia (2011)
A
spiritual
sonnet
sequence
that
hews
to
the
maggot,
or
the
eccentric
idea,
of
a
meditation
beset
on
all
sides.

and
