Description: In "Poetic Tranquility", author Gregory A. Dente sometimes spices his poetry with suggestions of the surreal and the sinister, discovering that the boundaries of what is possible can also be permeable. The opening poem, "A Twelfth-Century Tale", evokes the eerie atmosphere of a "Forest of Fear", with the suggestion of superhuman challenges. Centuries later, in the poem titled "The Modern Arc", a pilot named Noah lands his plane on a small patch of earth
that has escaped devastation after a cataclysmic flood. The poem "Wicca" defends true witches, while "The Dance of
the Shaman" trips him up. A poetic look at a world gone slightly askew, this book will be enjoyed by all lovers of fine verse.
Notes: A percussionist by avocation, author Gregory A. Dente is his own "different drummer". He has travelled widely in the United States and in Europe, enjoying the many interests that he finds in all of life. Co-owner of a metal fabricating company, he holds a B.A. in business administration from the University of New Haven.
