Outer Borough ISBN: 978-1-931247-53-5 $17 “The poetry of Vincent Spina in Outer Borough signals the discovery of a sophisticated sensibility and the recovery of an accomplished poet heretofore overlooked. His elegiac narratives inhabit a fading time-frame of ‘how she looked in that fabulous/forties photo taken only minutes before old age/ sprung from the ground and twined around her ankle.’ While these compositions seem casually played in conversational tones, such subtle variations on themes of survival and loss can only be sung convincingly by a seasoned and elegant voice.”
