Drawn by the Creek (New Printing 2011)

American poet Robert M. Giannetti, a 2003 nominee for Georgia Author of the Year for “Drawn by the Creek,” has since received international recognition. Translated into Polish and published in Temat, a Polish periodical of arts and letters, Giannetti’s work was featured in a lengthy critical essay by the journal’s editor, Dariusz Lebioda. “It is profoundly existential poetry,” says Lebioda, “its many beautiful nuances and lyrical rhythms are charged with constant fascination, demonstrating above all a belief in everyday wonders.”

An earlier review of the book in Poetic Voices noted that “[the poet’s] ponderings travel across a broad landscape… Giannetti wonders about many things that have haunted poets since the invention of language: the passage of time, our connection to each other and our ancestors, immortality, acceptance of who we are at any given moment, feeling good just before night comes, the alchemy of moonlight melting into the golden rays of the sun, the journey of seemingly random thoughts as in dreams, desire unfulfilled, the forces that connect us to each other and to the universe — poetry being one of them.”
