The Gathering
Festa, Diana
Curl up by a fire with a glass of port to truly enjoy The Gathering. Diana Festa opens up very difficult life experiences where she struggles to bring some kind of understanding. We don't see this in poetry all that often and it can make a difficult read to the uninitiated. But the beauty of her language and the depth of her understanding make her subject palatable and carry the reader to that place of truth and beauty to which poetry aspires.
