Title: For the kingdom
First published: 1995
Description: Piccione is less concerned with public imagery and more with the human psyche, how the unconscious can surface and lead us toward discoveries in language that sustain us. As such, the poems are visionary and vital, finding passage through the woods and fields surrounding the author's cabin in rural Upstate, New York.

Complementing the poems are lyrical prose memoirs. Here, readers travel through a mountain pass in Tibet, ride the Jericho Highway from Long Island to Bensonhurst, and accompany Piccione as he teaches poetry to Chinese students in Beijing. Whatever and however the journey, the writings in For The Kingdom ask us to be generous and patient.
Subjects: Poetry (poetic works by one author), American poetry
