ABOUT THIS BOOK
Shadows Burning is a poetry book that wrestles with its angels—domestic love, fruition and desiccation, the passion for words that will suffice at bringing to light and shadow ground between the inner and outer life.
AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY
W. S. DI PIERO is a singular yet deceptive presence in American poetry. He fearlessly juxtaposes the Latinate and the Anglo-Saxon, the raunchy and the sacred, car horns and choirs. His line is edgy, razor-sharp, his syntax turbulent.
REVIEWS
"Like Crane and Williams before him, and like some other talented living poets . . . Di Piero has staked a claim at the interval between heightened poetic speech and the language hooks of advertising, between sincere oratory and a street-smart insult. Always, the poems surprise with the madcap tumble of roiling diction." —Partisan Review

"His instinct is to admire the physical world, but the poems embrace place with elegiac fury, in language that is only sensitive by remaining rough, refusing the option of beautiful polish, leaving always open that glimpse into unguarded despair without which the artist is trivial." —Mary Kinzie
