Bird-by-bird, the heartfelt flutters of Avian Aria, focus on a strong woman loving her family. Michelle Cicillini’s debut is superbly crafted. Open. Vulnerable. Cicillini is not hesitant about sharing her private world with readers, whether via prose poetry, or short and long-form verse. As her professional background involves not only poetry, but also editing, every word of Avian Aria is finely tuned. If this eclectic collection doesn’t make you want to dance in the rain, nothing will.
