Poetry; 138 pages. Paperback.

This powerful collection of poems in free verse
probes the quotidian details of Malanga's life
as he wrestles to recall it through dreams and
memory. Comprised of five sections (Autobiographies,
The Cats in My Life, The Lives They Lived, Stories,
and The ray of the divine), the book presents a
tumultuous search for self in one's mental cache
and questions its actuality with bittersweet, raw
emotion. By turns wry and achingly sincere, the
poems have the feel and sequence of a dream -
jagged, taking unexpected turns, at times ambiguous.
They becry an existential crisis borne of isolation
and loss.
