Like his first collection ten years ago, Jack Ricchiuto's new selection of poems celebrates a panoply of topics.

They speak to poetry, love, nature, hope, aging, secrets, fragility, antifragility, and the hubris and quirks of being human. These timeless themes are peppered with others pondering politics, pandemics, sports, theology, and furry creatures.

The photography is a collection of pieces featuring visual textures chosen for their vitality. They are also the kinds of visual moments that can go unnoticed.

His only intention in the writing and photography was listening deeply to life at the edges where the familiar meets the unexpected.
