GIANNA RUSSO—poet, writer, and teacher—has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize, received (twice) a Hillsborough County Artist Fellowship, and received an honorable mention for the Florida Artist Fellowship. She is an Arts Fellow of the Surdna Foundation and of the Hambidge Center for the Arts and Sciences. She has had poems published in The Bloomsbury Review, The Sun, Poet Lore, The MacGuffin, Calyx and Tampa Review, among others. Her non-fiction essays have appeared in the St. Pete Times. A teacher of creative writing and English for over 20 years, Gianna is the founder of YellowJacket Press. A gifted poet with a strong voice, Gianna Russo seamlessly moves this mature collection of poems out of self-absorbed “sorrowing” into a renewed, expanded world view through excellent pacing and control of tone. “Reverse and Move Forward,” for example, becomes a perfect metaphor for the transition from painful past to hopeful future. Russo is a master of the unexpected yet perfect turnaround, always taking readers a step beyond where they expect to go.
