Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 21, 2005 -- 'beautiful terrible & true', the premiere collection of poetry by Jeanne Marie Spicuzza, carries engaging, evocative verse with rapturous, inventive lyricism. "In her diverse writings, Spicuzza, with poems like 'Mafia,' 'Labors' and 'Helen,' shows her dynamism by changing accents and... styles, from existential longings to street wise expectant mother... a superb poet and performer." (Brandon Bacchus, PL News). In a new foreword, Len Dacquisto writes, "Like her namesake Jeanne d' Arc, Jeanne came from humble beginnings in a small city and seeing a vision and purpose to her life, left her roots and traveled to a center of culture to marshal her forces and prepare for a long struggle against oppression, a mirror of her own struggle within."
