Whether spoken on stage or off page, Fucaloro's poems sound and read like a poetic Piano Man; they commiserate with those drinking loneliness and provide sobering truths on celebrating our lives in all the humanity and humannes we can muster. Thomas writes like a man possessed with purpose, like a dainty 18th century alchemist consumed with creating works of gold worthy of the finest broken Japanese teacup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-M.

Like Rumi, his poems are easy on the eyes with a simplicity that is sneakily complex. You can't help but cry and laugh and learn about yourself and the poet.\u003cstrong\u003e-Advocate of Wordz\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIs a salad without croutons a salad worth eating? In his book \u003cem\u003eThe Only Gardening I Do Is When I Give Up\u003c\/em\u003e Fucaloro has written a series of tornadoes and inside those tornadoes are croutons and when I say croutons I mean a violin playing hippo, a way out through a stuffed elephant, a receding ocean, a plate of pasta, a pulsing mother, all things expansive. Open your mouth and take a bite, crunch your way through these meaty poems, I promise you won't want to stop for water.\u003cstrong\u003e-Vanessa Chica Ferreira\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 46\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.11 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 26, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47350551576825,"sku":"9781646629336","price":21.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/aU5XcTVMeGFLZGhBL083bXVlMmZjQT09_6efd29b2-bcbf-4ba4-8cec-73df85e91523.webp?v=1769786822","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-only-gardening-i-do-is-when-i-give-up-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
