Read critics praise
for Shots From a Passing Car
“Ron Vazzano’s collection not only introduces
a new, strong voice to poetry but also gives us the wit, charm,
surprise
and intelligence of the impassioned, fiercely vulnerable contemporary
Italian-American man. This is a terrific book--
it will make you laugh, think deeply and reconsider the universe.
In other words, it does exactly what poetry is to do.”
-- Gina Barreca, Editor of DON’T TELL MAMA! THE PENGUIN BOOK
OF ITALIAN AMERICAN WRITING
Critics’ Praise for Shots From A Passing
Car
“Shots From A Passing Car” is a delightful debut
something for me, something for you...
... a really lovely volume.
--
Christopher Buckley, author of No Way to Treat a First Lady
“He’s obviously gifted and has his own individual vision.”
-- Elliott
Gould
“... a good eye for details and an imaginative and fun way
of incorporating them into poems... sensitive, nostalgic and
humorous. A few of my favorites are ‘Stale Mates,’ ‘The
Third Avenue El’ and ‘Out Back.’ I’m sure
readers will
happily discover their own.”
-- Frank
Finale, Poetry Editor, the new renaissance
“Always thoughtful, always provocative, Ron Vazzano’s
poetry stimulates one’s inner vision and makes the reader
pause and think... and then reread, to savor.”
-- Virginia
Howard, Editor of THEMA (THEMA Literary Society)
“... the ability to provoke reflection, recollection, interpretation.”
