“This is a book to be savored and not merely read. Like all fine poetry collections, Cassandra Gifts teaches me how to live, fully and honestly.” –Michael J. Henry, author of No Stranger Than My Own and Active Gods
“Forged of vibrant feeling, incandescent language, gymnastic syntax and unflinching truth, Berardi’s poems strike deep.” – Kathryn T.S Bass, author of The Mysteries, Bright Seeds and Within/Without: A Conversation in Poetry and Painting
“A startlingly beautiful collection that weaves beauty and loss. Understated, yet intimate, these poems shine individually, but read as a whole, they unfold and open and take root in the reader.” Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer, author of Hush, Naked for Tea, The Less I Hold, and The Miracle Already Happening
