A turbulent, celebratory flight from an accomplished witness and journeyman. Antony Di Nardo's third collection of poems occupies the air between Canada and Lebanon, viewer and painting, victim and triggerman, reader and page. Blending a bohemian ebullience with a reporter's obligation to witness, the poems in Roaming Charges are a heady and celebratory bouquet of jet fuel, camaraderie and muezzin music. They look long and hard at their subjects, but also speak of the trails those subjects leave across the skies.
Antony Di Nardo is a poet and teacher. He currently divides his time between Beirut, Lebanon where he teaches English at International College and central Canada. He is the author of two previous collections of poems: Alien, Correspondent (Brick Books, 2010) and Soul on Standby (Exile Editions, 2010).
This latest collection is luminous with the undeniable self in lyrical surrender to the dramas of mankind.
