Serpari: Selected Poetry and Prose

Stephen R. Galati’s engaging new collection of poetry and prose provides a sometimes musical, sometimes bold view of emotional transformation. The poems and short fiction are reflective and candid, and take us through life’s hidden passageways that guide us from the point of hardship to the moment of healing. Themes of nature, love, pain, and loss are addressed through metaphor and honesty in his prose and in such poems as “Farewell Like the Autumn Leaf,” “While She Sleeps,” and “When You Are Done.” This is a wonderfully enlightening collection from one of today’s great new voices.
