Kamikaze Dance – NWVS #114

by Amy Barone

$12.49, paper

In Kamikaze Dance, poet Amy Barone celebrates nature, music, and the essence of place. A consummate storyteller, Barone recounts tales of tragedy, joy, and longing, injected with the author’s singular humor and candor. She is inspired by the core of place, which figures prominently in her poems. From her hometown of Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, and adopted homes of New York and Milan, to Rio, Salvador, and the Greek island of Zante, Barone takes readers on mini-sojourns. Many of her poems are exquisite autobiographical sketches packing meaning and heart into a mere stanza.
