Knowing the Moment

By Emanuel Di Pasquale

Love is the Mouth Love is the mouth that tears rind, that chews pulp and sucks juices. Love is the mouth that swallows seeds. And love is the mouth that bitches at orange bits stuck in its teeth. From the Introduction There is something elemental about the poetry of Emanuel di Pasquale, an immediacy that comes from a direct and visceral relation to whatever he is writing about-whether nature or human interaction. It is the kind of directness that di Pasquale admires in Whitman and Dickinson-evidence that he, like them, has more than an academic acquaintance with the world and its changes. He has experienced them and understands how to make us experience them, too, through words.
