Not Just A Personal Ad (2006)
Showcasing a subtle poet who has preserved her
working-class sensibility and taste for the language of daily life while
maintaining an acute ear for literary echoes, this powerful collection
explores the life of a lesbian Italian American woman. From the first poem
where she places her grandparents young and in love right in front of the
reader, to "she's doing the dishes" where a tongue-in-cheek delivery
eroticizes a simple household chore, the poet casts an unapologetically
direct and witty eye on life's complexity and paints unforgettable moments
within unforgettable scenes.
Head for the Van Wyck (1994)
Vittoria Pepetto practices vision as action.
Her poems change our way of seeing what they show us, sometimes abruptly,
always directly. They reconstruct categories (Italian American, Lesbian,
Cabbie, language) from the inside out. Because they see even the tiniest
details with this new angle of vision, Repetto's poems give us
unforgettable scenes, unforgettable moments.
