Open Vault

Poetry. This three-poem cycle charts a journey through the detritus of our cultural landscape. It ranges onto levels that include the discursive and the satirical, the historical and the anti-historical. "In an era of mawkish kitsch on the one hand and mannerist grammar on the other, Sartarelli steps in with a luminous poetry at once intelligent, exigent, compacted and of a rare inexhaustibility. In these lyrics something philosophical, narrative and yet light withal takes its place among the new definitions of poetry: 'and by some single spirit raging in wild unison'"--David Shapiro.Sartarelli, Stephen is the author of 'Open Vault' with ISBN 9781881471523 and ISBN 1881471527.
