Description:
From gothic chiller to love poem, VOICES
from the Castle Dungeon is a collection of
free verse poetry that proposes a fine line exists
between emotional discord and spiritual serenity.
To this end, Rosa Maria DelVecchio creates
a diversity of personae who collectively
complement one another.
There is the persona of woman as victim in
“The Empty Mansion,” the uncompromising lady
in “The Craving,” and the widow who wails
tenderly in “Life Love.”
The voice of the narcissistic gentleman
player in “Be My Wife” is juxtaposed with that
of the alpha male in “Lion Queen’s Prayer”
as well as that of the spiritual guardian in
“Gargoyles.”
A variety of maternal figures speak out in
poems such as “Devil’s Advocate” and “Love
Maternal.” Equal
voice is given to a myriad of child personae from
the surviving adult girl of family dysfunction in
the “Recurrent Nightmare” prose poems to the
untouched innocent of poems such as “Wine
Grapes” and “Passage to
America
.” Beginning
with the cryptic language of “Stone Façade”
and ending with the concise syntax of “The Dark
Ages,” this collection is framed by
DelVecchio’s range of poetic style and offered
to readers in the spirit of literary recreation.
