A Prayer connects the reader to nature, in a lyrical, life-affirmative manner. The poems are imagistic and open the reader to the divinity that surrounds her/him, both within and without.
Death is the thunderstorm
in the night, lightning --
the snake,
the fig root
burning.
Emanuel di Pasquale creates poetry that is timeless and direct.
Dana Gioia
Emanuel di Pasquale writes superb poetry with imagery so crisp, it could be used in a textbook.
Ed Bennet, QUILL 7 PARCHMENT
Emanuel di Pasquale writes with reverence and wonder, like some Adam first laying eyes on beast and tree, bestowing names upon them.
