From Almost Everywhere: Selected Poems 1965-1995

Poetry. "Franco Beltrametti's smooth- barked muse leads him across the grids of latitude and longitude to the source of good medicine poems... Civilized, in the best sense."—Gary Snyder "Gradually the word breaks free, lives its event, realizes its maker's feeling/thinking. What music there is comes from and stays with speech as it occurs. Franco moves from place to place as from breath to breath building the more invisible architecture of complete home."—Cid Corman
