Arts & Literature

“In this masterful collection, Neil Carpathios has perfected the art of paying attention. He reminds us that silence talks, that quiet moments matter, in poems that magnify our connections to one another—to the janitor who dances with his broom, to the man who sells God’s laughter in an empty jar, to angels who return to us in a lock of hair, in the sound of a wind chime.”
