“In the style of the great bards, Gerald Facciani’s thought-provoking poems evoke smiles, melancholy, and most certainly introspection. With emotions at times thinly veiled and creativity at times fully revealed, this is love, loss, and life at its best.” - Suzanne Giesemann, Author of Messages of Hope and Wolf's Message. "Gerald Facciani's book Poetic Treasures from the Soul (vol.2) is a delightful compendium of his best lyric verse. A felicitous combination of tradition and innovation, of classical form and everyday concerns, his poems are always easy to approach -- yet always ask for deeper reflection. Like good music, they linger in the mind and in the heart.." - Stefania de Kenessey, Professor of Music at The New School, New York City. "Mr. Facciani writes from the heart, and what a pleasure to read contemporary sonnets about adult love! This collection will be enjoyed by anyone with an open spirit and ready to raise a glass to love." - Stanley Wilson, Writer/Producer
