I had the pleasure of reading "Heart & Soul" while Richard was completing a last edit. Just as the title states, Richard has put his heart and soul into the writing of this book, lending a biographical touch to many of his poems and short stories. They relate to the human consciousness of man's deep passions from within the heart and soul. There is a sense of family throughout the book, as depicted by photographs of Richard’s family members, which makes "Heart and Soul" not only an enjoyable read but one you won't easily forget.
Mary Angela Nangini's poems celebrate the richness of life and love. From the city to cottage-country and the roads in between, Nangini explores the changing seasons of her varied region. (This book will soon be reprinted in hard cover.)
