The collaborative energy between the poems and the illustrations charges our understanding of Thoreau’s “Simplify, simplify” with an even newer meaning. It is marvelous to discover DiOrio’s nuanced spiritual quest, his praying act of poetry. Imagine worshiping a cuddle, or the warmth of ambition. This is a fabulous work of love and joy, a sacred conversation between poet and artist, a crystallized harmony.

–Thomas Sayers Ellis, author of Skin Inc.: Identity Repair Poems

“This collection by Carlo DiOrio is a rich observation of a life like yours and mine, at what feels like a very good half-way point to assess. The charm and challenge, youth and presence, question and knowing, are summed nicely here, at the cross streets of “Motion & Stasis.”

–Wayne S. Williams, author of “The Trunk”
