For decades, artist B. Amore has elegantly imagined and chronicled the Italian American experience, turning artifacts into talismans and revealing how the past continues to pulse within us. What a joy to see her artist's eye turn to poetry. In this shimmering new collection, B. Amore connects the thread of memory, conjuring ancestors and ancestresses with a sculptor's precision, and tackling universal themes of love and loss, family, faith, parenthood, and aging with wisdom and grace. JOURNEYS ON THE WHEEL, like all of Amore's luminous work, informs and delights.--Maria Laurino<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>With her artist's eye for the revealing and memorable detail, in <em>Journeys on the Wheel</em>, B. Amore presents a gallery of landscapes from the Italian countryside to rural Vermont and portraits of family members from grandparents to grandchildren, all fashioned, aptly enough, con amore. Whether meditating on what should be ("On Hatred"), speculating on what could have been ("In Those Days We Were Naked, Clothed"), or, most frequently, celebrating what is ("A Kiss on the Lips"), these poems create a world of tenderness and beauty that readers will be happy to visit and--to quote another of the collection's titles--"Loathe to Leave." </p><p> --Michael Palma, poet and translator</p><p> </p><p>B. Amore's <em>Journeys on the Wheel</em>, as the title suggests, is a veritable carousel of emotions, thoughts, and impulses--all with a <em>piccante</em> Italian accent. As we ride her wheel, we discover rich stores of pathos, humor, irony and intelligence, and all of these parceled out by way of poems that are stirring to the ear and the heart. What an auspicious debut.</p><p>--Sydney Lea, Vermont Poet Laureate, 2011-15</p><p> </p><p>For decades, artist B.
