Reviews

Len Gasparini is a Canadian literary treasure.

Matthew Firth, Front & Centre

Chief among the motifs in Gasparini's poetry are the disorienting effects of travel, the power and destructiveness of sexuality, the grind of daily life, and the relation between the poetic imagination and external reality.
