David Giannini, author of The Future Only Rattles When You Pick It Up is reviewed by Hannah Van Sickle in The Berkshire Edge. David Giannini is also the author of Faces Somewhere Wild.
“David Giannini’s latest volume of poetry, aptly titled “The Future Only Rattles When You Pick It Up,” is a compilation of poems that, to quote the poet, “all bear relationship with each other.” He also makes clear that “it is a book and not just a smattering,” the content of which carries allusions that run the gamut from Greek mythology to Emily Dickinson and myriad topics in between. The beauty of the natural world, echoes of which linger from Giannini’s “Faces Somewhere Wild” (2017), collides with politics, technology, philosophy and iPhones in a collection that is at once both soothing and provocative.” (read more here)
