Soul-Stirring Poetry

Author/Poet/Artist Anna Casamento Arrigo has penned a soul-stirring poetry collection which indulges all of the senses as it touches the heart. Her works of art interspersed throughout are vivid emanations of the imagery she conjures with words.

Whether she expresses nostalgia, defiance, indignation, optimism, realism, or whimsy, her poetic tools of the trade are a tour de force: fine-tuned alliterations, rhythmic onomatopoeia, and imaginative descriptions—artistic brushstrokes in themselves.

I ‘m glad “Joe Schmo” made the cut in this collection where each in-depth poem is a bearer of truth. I highly recommend ‘Just One More Step,” a composite of soul-stirring poetry illustrative of Ms. Arrigo’s remarkable talents.
