In Body of Water Mr. Santosuosso presents a complex series of poems in which a line from one poem often informs the reading of a subsequent one. calling on images from Greek mythology to present day America he moves the book forward: a millwheel, propelled by water as both image and metaphor. In these poems water exists as vapor, fog, and ice; as rivers, lakes, and oceans; as water currents within water, and even as lava, the fluid core of earth itself … the one that will remain with me longest, is Body of Water in which the narrator becomes one with Walden pond as with a mentor or kindred spirit … With a precise diction devoid of excess Mr. Santosuosso braids these various waters into poems you will come back to again and again.
