Carli’s TRUCE Reviews
“There’s an abundance of poetic voice in TRUCE, some sonorous in traditional forms, some winging in free verse. There’s earnest social criticism here and playful erotic imagination, and most wonderful of all is the book’s Whitmanesque everyday mysticism as in the inspired and inspiring “I See You.” That poem alone is worth a lot more than the price of admission. And you get to read it aloud in your kitchen!”
— Gary Moore, The Twisting Path - Zen Poems
“Carli’s zest for life bursts with an unstoppable rollercoaster of raw personal experience. His intellectual musings in TRUCE are punctuated by flashes of bawdy humor. He knows the rules of poetry and uses them, but revels in breaking them. Nothing feels contrived. In a age where algorithms have begun to write, Carli may be one of the last true poets, unfiltered and unapologetically human.”
— Robert E. Ford aka The Wall Street Poet
