Songs Of Love & Longing

Songs of Love & Longing is a collection of poems that mix the comfort of intimacy, and connection to the natural world with meditations on everyday life. These poems are both spiritual and worldly. They arrive from the author's relationships, personal experiences and life events, yet touch on universal truths every reader can relate to. For example, in the poems, Valentine's Day; and Cacio e Pepe and again in What Matters and This is It. Ray Cicetti's verses speak to love lost and realized with both grace and a hint of humor. The love of a father, of friends and family, yet he achieves something rare: how the mystery of human love and longing can open us not only to a feeling of their value and beauty, but into a state of interconnectedness to something greater than ourselves.
