Unsolicited

R.A. Scanzillo has spent a lifetime watching, listening, and taking notes. In UNSOLICITED: Short Words & Random Chapters from a Latent Boomer, she turns those observations into poems and stories about relationships, aging, faith, addiction, humor, heartbreak, and the unexpected moments that make up a life. Scanzillo calls her poems “kernels of emotional experience”—sometimes funny, sometimes dark, but always drawn from the world around her. Hear her read several poems from the book and explain how growing up in a strict religious household shaped her life as an observer, why she considers herself a “people’s poet,” and what she hopes readers recognize in her words. https://www.amazon.com/UNSOLICITED-Random-Chapters-Latent-Boomer/dp/1665780479/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1R0T92J4HDT4L&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Zj4Jqkug_gXISJkldZT2Pw.pwuCgUbiznvhsnZPzZzN3lOpKWJ55Xc29F_4a-n-Xw0&dib_tag=se&keywords=9781665780476&qid=1783487032&sprefix=9798823061902%2Caps%2C371&sr=8-1
