Meet poet, Annette Gagliardi!

Annettelooks at the dimly, tinted shadows and morphed illusions that become life and finds illumination. She sees what others do not and grasps the fruit hiding there, then squeezes all the juice that life has to offer and serves it up as poetry – or jelly, depending on the day.

Her work has appeared in many literary journals in Canada, England, Sweden and the USA, including Lit Shark, Motherwell, St. Paul Almanac, Wisconsin Review, American Diversity Report, Origami Poems Project, Amethyst Review, Door IS A Jar, Trouble Among the Stars, Sylvia Magazine, and others. Gagliardi’s first poetry collection, titled: A Short Supply of Viability was published in 2022 through The Poetry Box. Her second chapbook, titled Caffeinated was published through The Island of Wak-Wak publishing, Sweden, in October of 2024.

Gagliardi’s historical fiction, titled: Ponderosa Pines: Days of the Deadwood Forest Fire, which was also published in 2022, won the PenCraft Book Award for literary excellence in the Fall of 2023.

See her author website: https://Annette-gagliardi.com and check her out on the livestream Sunday night!
