Eileen Brunetto’s poems display a deeply sympathetic sense of domestic life. The home, with its family members—lost and present, its pets and furniture, and the external natural world are all rendered concisely and memorably in this lovely debut collection.

–Hilma Wolitzer, Author “An Available Man,” “The Ten-Year Nap,” and others

 

“Brunetto writes of the small made large through perception and appreciation, of birthday cakes and clay pots and garden birds, of loss and dilapidated beauty and remorse.  This is a lovely collection of precise, elegant poems that honor both the everyday and the mystery in all their glory.  “Come into my house” she invites us and it is an invitation well worth accepting. Truly beautifully done!”

–Jeanne Mackin, author of “The Last Collection” and “The Beautiful American” among other historical novels.

 

“Eileen Brunetto‘s poems in her Chapbook “The Secret Side of Dorset Street,” range from the intimate to the far-reaching in her concerns for self, family, the environment and the planet. She has a keen sense of how as humans we succeed and how we fail in all of these relationships. These are deeply felt poems. I look forward to reading whatever Brunetto writes next.”

–Nadell Fishman, author of “Drive” a collection of poems as well as a new chapbook coming out with FLP.

Eileen Brunetto’s “The Secret Side of Dorset Street,” speaks of solitude and intimate observations of earth and the mystery of time with hope, cynicism, and humor. As a child growing up in a large family, she walked the nearby woods where she developed a deep appreciation of quiet space – opportunity to think and grow. Trees and the natural environment cultivated curiosity and peace. Her writing reflects upon relationships; she questions and laments human disregard of landscape and resources, while reminding us of our need for nature’s innate calm, beauty, and essential sustenance.

Eileen Brunetto writes poetry, essay, and memoir addressing spirituality and our relationships to nature and each other. She has two children, and lives with her husband, Charles and their one cat, Pip. She likes hanging out with her grandkids and friends. She stretches her mind continually to understand the ever-changing, worrisome status of homelessness and the economic and politics of our society. Eileen enjoys art, film, food, wine, visiting family and friends in good measure, as well as travel and holistic wellness. She is a massage therapist and reiki practitioner. and earned an MFA during her 50’s while working full time at Middlebury College. She has volunteered with a local aging agency, and presently works as a para-educator at her local elementary school. She is an assistant editor with The Poetry Society of Vermont’s annual magazine, “The Mountain Troubadour.”  Her writing has been featured in the MacGuffin, Airplane Reading, Zig Zag Literary Magazine, Pitkin Review, and SUNY Blueline.
