Apprenticed to the Night

Poetry Collection

by LindaAnn LoSchiavo

Apprenticed to the Night is a collection of sixty-six works of poetry and prose by LindaAnn LoSchiavo. The book explores themes of life and death, childhood, trauma, family, and love, with a dash of Italian ancestry and culture.

The poems in Apprenticed to the Night are characterized by their sharp imagery, lyrical language, and emotional depth. LoSchiavo’s poems are often personal and introspective, and they explore a wide range of emotions, from joy to sorrow, love to loss.

The book is divided into three sections: “Youth,” “Maturity,” and “Beyond.” The poems in the “Youth” section reflect on LoSchiavo’s early years, and they deal with the joys and sorrows of growing up. The poems in the “Mature” section explore relationships and offer insights into the complexities of family life. The poems in the “Beyond” section deal with death, loss, and the afterlife.

Apprenticed to the Night is a powerful and moving collection of poetry. LoSchiavo’s poems are honest, insightful, and beautifully written. The book is a must-read for anyone who loves poetry or who is interested in the human experience.

REVIEW

5 out of 5

A brilliant collection that is evocative with both emotions and imagery, this should be read while curled up under a clear night sky if at all possible. LoSchiavo has done an amazing job bringing each poem to life before the reader’s eyes, and tugging on your emotions at the same time. Each is a mini-story unto itself, a snapshot in time, taken from different stages in life and laid before you. Although it would be easy to read only a poem or two and take a break, I found myself wanting to continue reading, until I reached the end. Although I’ve finished reading, this would absolutely be worth a second read through, perhaps this time during warmer weather when I can be outside and under the stars, instead of seeing them through a window from inside where its warm.
