Deep and direct, a subway train to the heart Nov 08, 2009
I grabbed this book as I left my house for the office thinking it would be good to read on the Underground. It's not good, it's phenomenal -- but it's not a good book to read on a subway ride. Why? Because my eyes kept welling up, that's why. Not just tears of sadness and sympathy, but also of delight and triumph against all odds. Impressions of the bag lady, the human cats on the mat, king Arthur, the boy, resonated beyond my tube journey. Biondolillo's poems are powerful, inspirational, and as deep AND direct as a subway tunnel.

Spirit and Beat in the Blood of the Street! Nov 04, 2009
Spirit and beat in the blood of the street! I just finished my second reading of this collection of poems and still couldn't put the book down. Equal parts inspirational, reflective, and instructive... and entirely satisfying. Bravo! The reviewer who commented on the Introduction alone being well worth the price of the entire book, hit the nail on the head. Biondolillo is clearly a man who has paid his dues and wrestled with many of life's key issues. Highly recommended.

Poetry for men--and for the rest of us! Oct 11, 2009
I've never experienced poetry quite like this--the unique, masculine voice is evocative, lean, muscular. The collection has a strong male senseibility yet is toally accessable to women. BRAVO! FIVE STARS!

Passionate, poignant, provocative Sep 30, 2009
The introduction alone is worth the price of the book. Not since reading "The Little Engine That Could" to my young, now middle aged, children have I found a more inspiring and self-revealing work on the dynamism of character and optimism. Mr. Biondolillo's Horratio Alger genre poetry is compelling.

The Perfect Gift... Sep 16, 2009
The perfect gift for anyone who has ever faced a challenge...and overcome!
Uniquely touching, the words jump off the page and hold your hand
throughout the entire gritty yet poignant journey. A must read!
