Logos Volume 229

This collection is full of lyrical grit. As Fagiani says in one poem: Theres no reverse in a hearse. And there is absolutely no reverse in Logos, as the author takes us on a wild ride through the streets of New York and into a world of pushing and hustling that pulls the reader in from beginning to end. -- Jose B. Gonzalez, Ph.D., editor of LatinoStories.Com
Gil Fagianis cargo of unforgettable characters and their intimate narratives smack you with a language of the street that moves with a rhythm and grace, and then shifts to knock you down. He holds nothing back and, along with the pain, the sins, and redemption, you will discover a poet of immense passion and a man of great courage. -- Gianna Patriarca, writer/poet with 9 published books
I have never read anything like Logos. In the American tradition, I can think of E. A. Robinson and Edgar Lee Masters who tried similar things, but with nothing like the vividness, immediacy, humor, and pain that I find in Fagiani's writing. His poems, to put it briefly, exude reality in startling ways. -- Frank Lentricchia, author of The Dog Killer of Utica
