There is joy–and, yes, wisdom–to be found in the poems in Cheryl Ann Passanisi’s book. The lines and their music, the depth and strong images carry a reader away, at times into Passanisi’s world of opera and other times as a companion behind the camera of her eyes, within the experience of her senses, on the streets of Venice or Paris, or even in heaven with her grandmother and brother who never had a chance to be in her life.
