Local poet Salvatore Marici’s fourth volume of poetry, Sneezing Coyotes, is now available for pre-order through Ice Cube Press. Set in both familiar and faraway terrain, his poems explore human vulnerability and the universality of our hopes and desires with both humor and clear-eyed realism.
Listen to our conversation here about how his experience working in Guatemala as a Peace Corps volunteer affected his poetry and world view; his concern for the environment and the love of nature that his subsequent career as an agronomist instilled; and the writing community he has discovered in the Quad Cities within the Midwest Writing Center.
Salvatore Marici now divides his time between Florida and Port Byron, Illinois.
