Integrated

By Venancio Batista-Pedro

Integrated is a stunning debut collection of poems. Venancio is an infantry veteran from Iowa, with four degrees, three children, and one cat. His father was a Portuguese rogue, his mother was an English crazy woman, and he has lived in the USA since 2007. None of his personalities have ever fit in anywhere. These are the bare facts from which these poems have sprung.

The bigoraphical themes are illuminated through classic poetic forms (you'll find at least one of the following here: sonnet, sestina, villanelle, terza rima, pantoum, ghazal). Alongside flexible and innovative free verse that has its own internal logic you'll be hard pressed to decipher.

This collection showcases impressive depth and breadth. Readers will be transfixed by passion, intellect, and imagination through lyrical language, surprising metaphors, and vivid imagery.

Modern poetry is not like this. It is simply, never this good. This book is an essential addition to any poet lover's collection.
