soft, gentle-quiet, not spoken

Annette Gagliardi has looked at the dimly, tinted shadows & morphed illusions that becomes life & finds the illumination. She sees what others do not & grasps the fruit hiding there. She squeezes all the juice that life has to offer and serves it up as poetry – or jelly, depending on the time of day. Her work has appeared in literary journals in Canada, England and the USA.
