Description
The poems in Let it be Extravagant limn the line between memory and desire, time and timelessness, and the real and imagined world. Generationally and ancestrally informed, Reale's poems create microworlds where experience is hard won, tussling with wide-eyed innocence, while tradition both stabilizes and confounds in a rapidly changing world. The ascendant language in these poems is one of seeing the value of where we come from, while relishing the thrill of the quotidian life in all of its vagaries.
