Sightlines from the Cheap Seats
Poems
Sightlines from the Cheap Seats is the latest book of extraordinary poetry by prize-winning poet Joseph Di Prisco. Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Carl Dennis has praised Di Prisco’s “strong and original voice.” Dean Young, Pulitzer Prize finalist, wrote that “addressing unquenchable longing and the shadows of death and failure, the lyric engines of [his] poems propel us with vital combustions”; his work “is proof of the presence of a large, funny, and indefatigable spirit.”
Joseph Di Prisco is the acclaimed author of novels as well as memoirs, the most recent of which is The Pope of Brooklyn, the follow-up to the celebrated Subway to California. Born in Brooklyn, he now lives in Northern California. He is the Chair of the Simpson Family Literary Project, simpsonliteraryproject.org. He can be reached at diprisco.com.
