Romantic Poet Enamors
Critics, Readers
Classic, au courant collection carves a new niche for
itself in the poetry world
GLENDALE, N.Y.
– Poems, letters, extended verse and photos combine to reveal intricate,
elaborate imagery that completely embodies the spirit of love and devotion in
heralded poet Valentinno’s critically and commercially acclaimed collection, A Romantic's Passion: The
Tenth Muse.
“Phenomenal.”
“Intriguing.” “Enthralling.” These are some of the things reviewers and readers
have been compelled to say after being introduced to Valentinno’s work. Divided
into five books (Romance, Letters, Love, Desire, Passion) and interspersed with
journal entries, photos and other memorabilia, over 130 poems in A
Romantic’s Passion chronicle the poet’s, torrid love affair with his
muse.
Eschewing the constraints
of metered rhyme and breaking free from outside influence, A Romantic’s Passion is
striking in its genuine, provocative tone. Expertly effortless, Valentinno’s poems
take their subject matter, and in turn the reader, to new levels of
consciousness. Consider the fluidity and depth found in “The Blood of Life”,
featured here in excerpt:
I shall come for hire before her like
a/celestial dove, perched upon the branches of heaven./To hold her close in
love’s sweet/nest. I among her am the immortal pilot of/the sun./Where her eyes
are the passageway of/steady rays filtered through the windows of/my
impassioned soul. Where every fallen/angel who only bares one wing she takes
up/in arms and lifts them toward the sky./Her loveliness is but the beginning where/the
beginning has no end and her loveliness/is perfection. She is of infinite
providence,/God sent in an image of a mortal woman./But yet in the form of a
venerable spirit.

Examiner is saying: “This book is
nothing less than genius! I see the wonderful ethereal quality harkening to the
romantic era. Valentinno’s Work reminds me of Byron with a bit of the idealism
of Keats.”
