Quatrains on the Way

*****I was given this book by my wife, as a birthday present and, I confess, as a poetry neophyte I did not think I would enjoy it; well, by the 5th poem I was already fully taken by the beauty and poignancy of each one, as they are so easy to relate to. I read the entire book till the very end, what a gift!

*****I have read many poetry books in my life, and I always admired the genre, however, for me this book is at another level, both in terms of lyrical content and the unique value of the message it transmits in a variety of forms.

*****This is one of those books that grab your attention from the first line, something that any lover of poetry will recognise, simply because it takes one by the hand on a journey of multiple themes, other worldly metaphors and enriching concepts. Highly recommended to poetry readers.

*****In this book of 177 poems, Centofanti introduced amongst them a number of pauses, which he calls 'waterfalls' i.e. poems in prose, designed to create breaks that are, in fact, moments for reflexion on what one has read by then, after which we continue on a changing landscape till the next waterfall.

*****It is clear that women see things differently from men, a truism, so, in my female capacity, I would like to say that many of you will love this book from cover to cover, because it is all to do with love.

*****Love poetry, when it's really good, carries, at all levels, the purest signals to mankind.
