description: HOORAY FOR LOVE is Crocitto's latest collection of work, and his first literary sampler. Crafted as a modern-day paean to the ever elusive - and often undefined - human activity of loving, Crocitto weaves together strands of short stories, poems and a play that reveal the myriad approaches we take towards love as we move through our lives. The short story 'May I in the Merry Merry' depicts a timeless, spring-filled Manhattan - one ready to bloom at any moment within the heart of erstwhile lover Vincent J. Sciaputo. The play 'O Fathomless Love,' with just enough tongue in its cheek, is the play you wish they would teach in high-school drama courses. And the vignette 'My Wife, My Life' casts an uncritical eye on a husband forgetting his spouse, and then, remembering. The book culminates in the substantial essay 'Hooray For Love,' in which Crocitto describes his personal search for the true nature of love. Set against the backdrop of his college theater-days, with Shakespeare as a springboard, Crocitto dives into the practical aspects of love. His words are especially pertinent now, in our love-lorn -- yet love-deprived society.
