Linda Addison reviewed 'Sacrificial Nights' by Bruce Boston and me in her column Word Ninja of Space and Time Magazine #126:
"
Sacrificial Nights by Bruce Boston & Alessandro Manzetti (Kipple Officinal Libraria, 2016) is a seamless collaboration of poetry and fiction. There are offerings endured and delivered in the city nights of this unique poetry novella. From “Sandoval’s Nightmare Sampler” (Boston-Manzetti): ‘Sandoval hears the noise / beyond the woman’s cries, / the howlin...g of bulldozers / that lift their iron tongues / with a roar and thankfully / crush his nightmare.’ The different stories wind back and forth, crossing paths, the flayed sin of one character becomes a gift to another. Rain, doesn’t cleanse as much as it unveils death and desire, bringing peace, bringing monsters. I could not look away from this gritty tour of nights in Boston-Manzetti’s city." (Linda Addison)
