Politano has this to say about his poetry. This collection of poems
is strictly my own work, without aid or assistance from anyone. I
am grateful of course, in a general way, to the professors in the
schools, colleges, and universities I have attended, as both
student and lecturer, who helped provide me with a breadth and
depth of knowledge without which this little book would not have
been possible. I am grateful also to the many authors, both good
and bad (or merely forgettable), whose work has helped to give me a
sense of balance in my poetry. But I am most grateful for the fact
that I have lived long enough and participated sufficiently in the
business of life to make some sense of certain matters concerning
the human condition, about which in my earlier years I was
absolutely mystified, and at times even terrified. Diane Wakowski,
author of more than sixteen volumes of poetry and Michigan State
University Professor and Writer-in-Residence said this: Pascal R.
Politano's poetry offers gracefully presented traditional language,
is] well-ordered, rhythmic and concise.... It avoids prosy
explanations, poeticized cliches, and the mundane sentimental
phrases that can often mar a poem's possible elegance.
