Books by Dennis Barone

Poetry. Fiction. Art. A book of lyric essays and prose poems seeking truth through fragments and spectrums.

Barone, a professor of English and director of the American Studies Program at Saint Joseph College, presents a study of Italian-American narrative.

I have organized Parallel Lines somewhat chronologically. There are stylistic (not thematic) groupings which break the chronology and there are repetitions, such as a number of "breath" poems, which go counter to the breaks and provide connections.
