And read in the context of the whole book, this thickness of application isn’t merely decorative, nor is it self-indulgent. “Giannelli becomes something like the Van Gogh of poetry, spreading inch-thick paint, a gutsy, gaudy bravado meant to draw as much, or more, attention to the medium as to the message. “‘Stutter,’ the first poem of this deftly observed debut collection, opens with the lines ‘since I couldn’t say tomorrow/ I said Wednesday’ and continues affectingly through words substituted for those harder to utter until the final, lovely line, ‘a puddle shorn from the storm.’ Here’s a man who’s really had to grapple with language, thinks the reader, and it shows.” “Giannelli’s debut is a quiet affair, but its simplicity masks layers and a longing for precision exhibited through minute adjustments, tweaked phrases, and shifting imagery….Though perfect expression may be unattainable, poetry is often about the process, and it is a pleasure to watch Giannelli work (and rework) his magic. But the note of loss remains: ‘What we’ve lost swims/ under the surface of mirrors’-and in these extraordinary poems.” Elegy becomes explicit as the book progresses, met in the final sections by poems of relationship. “In this stunning debut collection, the observations of an often-solitary speaker explode in dazzling metaphors, unexpected juxtapositions, and challenging insights. “Rilke meets Roethke in the beveled moptops of a hydrangea, a basketball net’s ‘punctured sieve,’ a rogue porcupine (‘quilled, in dark makeup, like the bass player/ in an 80s band’), all transformed, in Giannelli’s scrupulous, sonically lavish articulation, into emblems of the unspeakable mystery inside every syllable. ‘Am I lost/ or have I been lifted?’ the poet asks. “Adam Giannelli talks to the world-to rain, to insomnia, to the beloveds here and vanished, to the stars themselves in their ‘old staring contest.’ Sink into this book as into solace and trouble.

“This extraordinary and sobering debut begins with a literal stutter-‘Since I couldn’t say tomorrow/ I said Wednesday.’ In trade for this impediment, Adam Giannelli finds that, in poetry, what can’t be said gives way to what must be said.” From the difficulties of stuttering to teetering attempts at love, these poems tumble and hum, revealing a hinge between word and world.
