Con Brio: The Life and Works of Len Gasparini is designed to be as lively, as creative, as forceful yet as subtle as the writer whose poems, stories, and essays it celebrates. Framing this volume are 26 enjoyable remembrances of Len Gasparini, then 26 insightful commentaries by the same contributors on their personal favourites amongst his poems. Featured, too, are new poems by George Elliott Clarke, Carlinda D'Alimonte, and Marianne Micros paired with the counterparts by Gasparini that inspired them. Major essays by George Elliott Clarke, Joseph Pivato, J.R. (Tim) Struthers, and others explore the enduring artistry of Gasparini's works.
