Comments on Chocolate Sauce
Mary-Jane Grandinetti returns to poetry with this collection of short poems informed by her previous work with Japanese genre forms and, more recently, the Fibonacci. Each of these poems is perfectly sharpened by Grandinetti’s characteristic talent for brevity and directness. The poems may be sparsely worded, but they take risks in expressing a “down-to-earth” spirituality with substance, depth, and breadth. Grandinetti is someone who knows; each of her words is carefully chosen; each poem is crafted to reflect upon and remember.

Chocolate Sauce is a strong reminder of what poetry can be. Mary-Jane Grandinetti's words are sometimes playful, sometimes poignant, always carefully chosen as she takes us on her Fibonacci journey through life and loss, discovery and death, pain and passion. Here are poems of simple elegance, wit, and grace, real and unafraid, where the purity of emotion is never clouded.

Mary-Jane Grandinetti uses words sparsely and perfectly, packing a punch into every single piece of Fibonacci form poetry. Chocolate Sauce, is a treat of taste and smell, memory and loss.

A wonderful collection that shows that even though Fibonacci poetry as a form has rigid constraints, in the right hands, Fibonacci poems have no constraints at all
