s> ) of New York City, Gloeggler and Verga are tough, funny and urbane.
They say startlingly true things about the world around them, and they 
know
you - maybe better than you'd like them to. $5 suggested donation.
"Angelo Verga's poems hurricane through urban subject matter with 
astounding
clarity and force 'with every breath, regularly & continuously, like a
messianic machine.' They 'snatch the greasy dishes, and fling them at 
the
rusted pots and pans' of our way of life. Images swirl, narratives 
sting.
This book resounds with indispensable noise; it's a wake-up call, filled
with unflinching honesty, humor, and haunting tenderness."     —Laure-
Anne
Bosselaar
"Gloeggler's poetry is a harsh music, dissonant and true. These are 
rock 'n
roll songs of love and lust, of the persistence of lonliness and the 
power
of memory. A book with duende to spare, One Wish Left takes us into 
Bruce
Springsteen's 'darkness on the edge of town' and offers us his battered
valentines."     —Kim Addonizio
