Poetry fans, SHINE concludes its January book series with two more reviews this week. Today, have a look at work by Luigi Coppola, whose new book Even God Gets Distracted Sometimes is now available from Broken Sleep Books, Ltd. You can read my brief review below and purchase a copy for yourself by clicking the cover image. Congratulations, Luigi, and thanks for sharing your news with SHINE! Even God Gets Distracted Sometimes (Broken Sleep Books) is a beautifully compiled work of art. With illustrations by the talented Mark Shuttleworth and compelling poetry by Luigi Coppola, this collaboration reads like a dream, or a nightmare, depending on the poem! Full of insight and wit, Coppola's poems are at times silly, fantastical, but at others serious, even ominous. Standout poems, for this reader, include: Villanelle for the Greenman; Death Writes an Open Letter; Ours is the Wereworld; On the Buses With Philip Larkin, and the closing poem, A Bird On a String. Well done, Luigi! -Samantha Terrell, EIC SHINE international poetry series   Luigi Coppola – www.linktr.ee/PoetryPreacher – poetry, music, rum & coke.
