Hooray For Love is Crocitto's latest collection of work, and his first literary sampler. Crafted as a modern-day paean to the ever elusive - and often undefined - human activity of loving, Crocitto weaves together strands of short stories, poems and a play that reveal the myriad approaches we take towards love as we move through our lives. . The short story 'May I in the Merry Merry' depicts a timeless, spring-filled Manhattan - one ready to bloom at any moment within the heart of erstwhile lover Vincent J. Sciaputo. The play 'O Fathomless Love, ' with just enough tongue in its cheek, is the play you wish they would teach in high-school drama courses. And the vignette 'My Wife, My Life casts an uncritical eye on a husband forgetting his spouse, and then, remembering.The book culminates in the substantial essay 'Hooray For Love, ' in which Crocitto describes his personal search for the true nature of love. Set against the backdrop of his college theater-days, with Shakespeare as a springboard, Crocitto dives into the practical aspects of love. His words are especially pertinent now, in our love-lorn - yet love-deprived society.Crocitto, Frank is the author of 'Hooray for Love A Lyrical Journey to the Source', published 2002 under ISBN 9780967755861 and ISBN 0967755867.
