The sparkling intelligence of Michael V. Massari's mind pushes through these poems. His is a mind that provokes reality to bring forth its most challenging -- 'A clean touch of the forbidden' -- that scoops out our emotions from their deepest well. 'Abiding thirst comes shivering', and we are captivated, drawn into this temple of rhythm with all of passion's ferocity. These sonnets evoke the centuries of this noble form, infusing it with individuality and love. 'We'll chat again about great wisdoms / in the streams and that chapel on the hill / above our smoking heads. They'll say we strove / for Light. Meantime, let us tend the flowers.' Embrace his art, allow it to flow through you.

--Cindy Savett, author of Child in the Road

The Petrarchan sonnet is the perfect vehicle for Michael V. Massari's stirring and resonant depth. His syntax and imagery are at once both esoteric and familiar, expressing sacred desire -- the touch of something just beyond reach, just beyond reckoning.

--Richard Manchester, author of Home to Barcelona
