'The Place of Broken Things' reviewed by Gabino Iglesias

Live at Horror DNA the review by Gabino Iglesias of my poetry collection 'The Place of Broken Things' written in collaboration with Linda D. Addison. (Crystal Lake Publishing, July 2019)

Excerpt from the review: (...)  There is something strange about literary collaborations. Asking two writers to come together and work on something when the rest of the time they are working alone always struck me as odd. Perhaps this is why amazing collaborations are rare. Linda D. Addison and Alessandro Manzetti’s The Place of Broken Things belongs to the small group of books that make a collaboration shine. (...)  Addison and Manzetti work beautifully together here because they gravitate to the same themes and wrote poems that are somewhat similar in length. Furthermore, Addison and Manzetti’s voices pull off a beautiful dance in which they come together and mesh perfectly before once again pulling apart and regaining their uniqueness. Surprisingly, even the poems in which they collaborate manage to retain a voice that, more than half-Addison/half-Manzetti, sounds more like a perfect, organic combination of both. (...) The Place of Broken Things is dark, creepy, surreal, haunting, and beautiful. In a way, it surprised me with the variety of poems it contains. However, it is also as great as I expected it to be. Addison and Manzetti are both Bram Stoker Award winners, and this collection makes it easy to see why.
