Quicker Than The Eye

In-his third collection of verse,-Quicker Than The Eye, Joe Fiorito continues to craft short, sharp poems that define the harder edges of urban life. His principal tools are a-photographer's eye for detail, and a musician-s ear for the sound of the human voice. Now, in-Quicker Than The Eye, Canada-s poet of the streets turns his gaze inward, writing about the influences of early love, family tragedy, and the search for meaning in a world where -the desolate things are mine.--A master of spare, razor-sharp language, Fiorito manages to strip sentiment from memory in order to find tenderness and enduring truth on the margins of the city.--He has never written more austerely or more beautifully.
