Homepage: Donna Pucciani

"Donna Pucciani's poetry exists in darkly verdant, sensual landscapes where all plants, insects, flowers, and lovers are tightly woven together. The imagery is precise, and focused on the smallest details even as the eye pulls back to an ever larger and wider expanse of time and distance. And as the eye pulls back, each minute detail, each object of life, transcends itself and enriches the reader's vision. Donna's keen intellect and acute observations on the interrelationship of all matter, and its intrinsic mutual interdependence on all other matter, remove even the most casual reader from the linear thought processes that limit communication in today's fast-paced world. This is poetry that is powerful and will last."

--Jared Smith, Where Images Become Imbued With Time

"Donna Pucciani's poems emerge from that miraculous border region where the everyday rises to the sacred. Her unique perspective renders language so lyrical that you will not be surprised to learn she is a musician who has taken up the instrument of words. This is a collection of the most consistently engaging, inventive and finely crafted poems I have read in many years. You will delight in this book and be genuinely sad to have it come to an end."
