The Butler Pennsylvania Poems
by Charles L. Cingolani
Cities have long been an object of poetic contemplation. This poetry about a
small Western Pennsylvania town attempts to reawaken the past and infuse meaning
and newness into seemingly trivial happenings one takes for granted. It
expresses awe at what is seemingly trivial, it slows down to express wonder at
the commonplace. It does this with plain language that penetrates beneath the
sensual surface of the events of everyday live for the hidden, mysterious
component that reveals the beauty of life's experience.
These poems are more than a nostalgic recounting of memories and occurrences.
They have to do with the essence of reality and as such they are insights into
the way people see things and the way they live in small towns across the
nation.
