In Mirror Image, Len Gasparini conflates lyrical poetry and prose into one voice, a voice that recalls the rock-and-roll Fifties, and then segues into a woman’s dramatic monologue, followed by two maverick poets philosophizing on women and sexuality, and concludes with a narrative tinged with nostalgia and tempered with irony.
Len Gasparini’s poetry offers his readers a unique and disturbingly honest glimpse of the world as he has come to know it through travel, love, and loss over the course of a palpably rich and tumultuous life.
Chief among the motifs in Gasparini’s poetry are the disorienting effects of travel, the poetic imagination and external reality.
Among writers across the country, Len Gasparini is a kind of legend, a man whom people love to tell stories about.
In Mirror Image, a compact and spirited collection that includes poems, a dramatic monologue, a dramatic dialogue and a short story, Guernica has produced a portrait of veteran writer Len Gasparini that is by turns droll, lyrical, wistful and artlessly attentive to craft.
Gasparini was a liberating and inspirational find. Here was a poet whose straight ahead no bullshit persona came jumping off of the page and grabbed me by the collar.
