In the Folds of Time: Collected Poems

Rosy Gallace presents herself to the audience of her admirers with a fine book of poems in which she reveals in the first person-with grace, sobriety, and remarkable emotional transport-a varied range of the feelings she has experienced in the course of her existence. She describes with measured modesty the bittersweet episodes and the ineffable enchantment of young loves, thoughts, plans, and dreams that waned as the sun set. The plot of the poems reaches the present day then concludes on notes of memories filtered through that subtle veil of restrained sadness that runs through the entire work with calm tones, never aiming at pessimism or exasperation. The expressive form that the author prefers is marked by velvety phrasing, often enriched by appropriate and dazzling images that make reading very pleasant and engaging. - Fabiano Braccini - Poet, writer, and director Rosy Gallace was born in Guardavalle in the province of Catanzaro in Calabria and lives in Rescaldina, Milan, Italy.
