Overview

Through the Wreckage is a Ballardian car crash scraping along the Jersey barrier between brokenness and a hard-sought salvation we spend a lifetime searching for. J.T. Trigonis navigates us through dimly-lit diners and noir-shaded roadside motels where loss sings in the key of urban sirens and nostalgia is as relentless as time. This collection of poems combs through the wreckage of past selves and the myriad forms of ghosts we long to let linger but must ultimately leave behind to find redemption and meaning in the faint neon glow of the poetic--and all-too-human--spirit.

Reviews

Each of the poems in this collection is an exploration of relationships and resilience, capturing with raw, vivid emotional intensity the vulnerability of human transformation. -RescuePoetix Born and bred in Hudson County where poetry was, at the very least, an abstract concept, it's heartening to know poets like Trigonis put their ass on the line every time they create a fresh New Jersey image. -reg e. gaines The poetry of J.T. Trigonis deserves a much wider audience. His work is positively stunning. I've been reading- and teaching-his poems for decades, and I never fail to discover hidden charm and wonder in the worlds he creates. -James F. Broderick
