By Lo Galluccio

Chapbook,  40 pages w/ illustrations, $5

“Lo Galluccio is an original and striking voice, based both on the quality of her work and her lyrically pleasing performance style. Her work is an interesting amalgam of the psychological, mythical and musical. Its content is entertaining and challenging at the same time, weaving in toughness and surrealism.”

                                                            Carolyn Gregory, poet

“you think by 2004 that everything that’s do-able on the page has been done and then comes Lo Galluccio and creates a whole new word-game…a totally original voice filled with psycho-social realities of contemporary America.  It’s act, react, get into the psych-underground and let it flow…”

Hugh Fox, poet, critic, writer and founding member of COSMEP
