Upon Waking

"Upon Waking: 58 Voices Speaking Out From the Shadow of Abuse" is the culmination of the Let's Talk About It! Poetry Project created by Annette Gagliardi and Laura Kozy Lanik and represents the work of 58 poets from around the state and the country and Canada. Whether we have had first hand experiences or not, the subject of abuse shapes the world we are in. It is our hope that the many victims of abuse can find solace within these pages or that their voice is echoed in one or more of these poems.

Proper Poems for Ladies

This limited edition chapbook could be called a tribute to women, but it is more of a hug, more of a glimpse into the realities of life as a female, more of a recalling of the many facets of femininity. This book salutes the abilities of women, extols the variety of who women are and pays homage to female capacities. “Annette Gagliardi inspires, provokes and humors us with this selection of poems. What a wonderful way to celebrate femininity.” ~ Erica Onsrud, Minneapolis You can buy a copy of “Proper Poems for Ladies . . . and a few naughty ones, too!” by contacting the author.
