Just released is a slim volume of verse by a poet from Australia, Giovanna Calligaris. Calligaris digs deep into her soul and bears all in this collection of hard-hitting poetry from a life thoroughly examined, if seldom savored. If you're looking for a happy-go-lucky collection of poetry, this isn't your kind of read. However, if you'd like to read something real and a bit gritty, Calligaris is the ticket.

Also if you like Jin Robinson's Out of the Darkness, you'll surely like this collection too. Both poetry books are available Amazon's warehouses around the world and directly through UltraVioletLove's online bookstore, BookshopWithoutBorders.com.
