The Plural of Some Things illu­mi­nates the sub­tle and poignant flashes of expe­ri­ence which shape the way we evolve and flour­ish and from time to time digress as human beings. Written with a prob­ingly sen­si­tive eye and a pro­found fer­vour for the nat­ural world, The Plural of Some Things invites the reader to jour­ney towards those encum­bered truths embed­ded deep in the heart’s home.

Reviews:

Desi Di Nardo’s ener­getic and exquis­ite poetry is already a major force, and a dis­tinc­tive uni­ver­sal voice.       – Sheema Kalbasi

If one is seek­ing poetry that is fresh and insight­ful, this lit­tle book of gems will not dis­ap­point. Desi Di Nardo’s poems impress instantly. Each one offers a trans­form­ing look at a facet of seem­ingly ordi­nary expe­ri­ence. Desi is one of my favourite poets writ­ing in Canada today.     – Denis Deneau

How refresh­ing to find a writer so unabashedly poetic as Desi Di Nardo. In a world of politi­cized screech­ing and lament, one is reminded of Pablo Neruda’s def­i­n­i­tion of art as that which “gives peo­ple hope”. By that def­i­n­i­tion Di Nardo stands head and shoul­ders above the mob of aca­d­e­mic sirens and macho wail­ers. A poetry to be thank­ful for.
 — Pier Giorgio Di Cicco
