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.”

          -- Brooke Horvath and Tom Wiles,
