The Revlon Slough by Ray Dizazzo
THE REVLON SLOUGH, Ray DiZazzo’s fourth poetry collection represents fifty years of writing that explores life’s observations in harmony with both the natural world, and the often anomalous societies we inhabit. As the collection’s title elucidates, DiZazzo has created a narrative initially inspired by his discovery of a farmland slough, with its own biosystem, and natural dichotomy of beauty and ugliness. His poetry, primarily written in free verse (with an occasional haiku) projects an intimacy with nature that resists sentimentality and romanticism, giving the poetry a vivid, unadorned feel throughout the volume. THE REVLON SLOUGH is DiZazzo’s most intimate and eloquent poetry collection to date.
