Beep Beep! Move over, SHADOW TRAFFIC is coming through!

NightBallet Press is enormously pleased to announce today's publication of
Shadow Traffic by Joey Nicoletti!

 



Shadow Traffic contains 16 delightful poems about Marvel superheroes, famous Italians, famiglia, and rock and roll,  written with love and skill by New Yorker Joey Nicoletti.  Nicoletti takes you by the hand and leads you into his fantasy life of Spider-Man and Captain Marvel; he whispers into your ear about creating new holidays and baking Onion Pie.  He has a natural story-telling style, and his poems are at the same time quietly sophisticated and  easily accessible.
 
 
 


Joey Nicoletti is the author of Cannoli Gangster (Word tech, 2012), which was selected as a finalist for the Steel Toe Books Poetry Prize by Denise Duhamel.   He is also the author of Earthquake Weather (NightBallet Press, 2012), and Borrowed Dust (Finishing Line Press, 2011).  His poetry, nonfiction, and reviews have appeared in Valparaiso Poetry Review, Stymie Magazine, Two Bridges Review, Voices in Italian Americana, Drawn to Marvel: Poems from the Comic Books, and other magazines and anthologies.  He lives with his family in Western New York, where he teaches at SUNY Buffalo State. 


Shadow Traffic is 24 pages long, and is printed on creamy white paper.  The front cover, boasting a haunting cover photo taken by photographer extraordinaire Chandra Alderman,  is printed on rib-textured white cardstock, with a soft turquoise textured cardstock insert.  The book is saddle-stitched (stapled), and is only $5 plus $3 shipping handling.  You can order it from PayPal here on the NBP website (see right column), or order it from Amazon!
