""Whatever your love language is, Gregory Cioffi will ravish you in Poetic Anarchy. This collection is philosophical, erudite, erotic, and, despite its title, masterfully constructed. With nods to Dickinson, Whitman, and Ginsberg, Cioffi se- duces the reader with food, art, and, my personal favorite: social justice. Cioffi's range is astounding. All of history's famous lovers gather here. Dante and Beatrice share space with Gomez and Morticia. But the biggest turn-on in these poems is self-discovery. Provocative, playful, and soulful, this work will woo you with defiance and passion. It will prime you to perceive that there ""are potential connections every- where,"" and that is something to swoon over."" -Deborah Hauser Author, Ennui: From the Diagnostic and Statistical Field Guide of Feminine Disorders (Finishing Line Press); Poet Laureate, Suffolk County, NY (2023-2025) ""Poetic Anarchy by Gregory Cioffi is a journey through contemporary poetry. Searching with questions, observa- tions, insights and descriptions, he weaves a tapestry of po- ems using poetic devices, form and style, following rules and breaking them with purpose. Mr. Cioffi doesn't just paint pictures with words but creates snapshots that focus sharply on or blur the conception of reality with exposure, using contrast and color, but sometimes blunt in black and white to express his views on his inner-self, society, day to day life and poetry in general. Living in an age of cynicism, he asks, ""What's next in the art of poetry?"" Read Poetic Anarchy and it will provoke you into deep thought both emotionally and intellectually."" -Peter V. Dugan Nassau County Poet Laureate 2017-19 ""Throughout the pages of Poetic Anarchy Gregory Cioffi invites you on a journey exploring a windfall of emotion in a world of social suspicion. The poet packs a punch with expressive language and striking imagery in both tradition- al and brilliant contemporary forms. In the Gehenna poems, Cioffi evokes a Dantean pilgrimage into the afterlife; and in Roller Coaster Ride you will ride-the-read to the final freefall. I encourage you to pace your path through the well-crafted landscape of Poetic Anarchy and engage in the emphasis of existence. Cioffi adds, ""If you were to declare it time to leave/I would without question, beg/Plug me back in."" -Robert Savino Suffolk County Poet Laureate 2015-2017
