Readers’ comments:
I fell for the poem “Bread” in which Leandros is distributing pieces of a
round loaf cut with his pocket knife. The poet notes “I have lived in America
for twenty years now / and I have still never seen anyone here / hold the bread
to his heart / as he cuts: earth, sun, grain / and blood as one.”
Anders Neuman, editor of The Swedish Press, May

The Road from Rome is terrific.
Many memorable lines: “I saw how they built a ship / from the
fingernails of the dead” and, “But you, they ask with eyes /
like flames of welding torches,” two of which immediately come
to mind.” Again, congratulations!

I enjoyed reading the poems in
the very handsome edition of The Road from Rome, so well done,
so inviting.
