"Deft, magical, filled with light as he makes light and thus lightens the load, Violi's poetry is pure pleasure," says American Book Review, and Paul Violi's listeners find themselves smiling much of the time, even when the subject matter is dark.His work is witty, highly skilled, continually surprising- irresistible.
