Pier Giorgio Di Cicco

The Hatching of the Heart

Arts & Literature

“These are brave, compassionate poems. When I began publishing many years ago with Margo Swiss, I looked forward to her byline in every magazine, as I admired then what I admire now--the maturity, the no-nonsense stare in the face of beauty and making of it, no more and no less than the mirror of creation. But now the poems are breathtakingly stark, inviting, wide-ranging in their compassion and locations. . . . I congratulate the readership of spiritual verse in the best sense, since Margo Swiss has opened her store of significant contribution to the canon.”
