Poetry. FRAGILE REPLACEMENTS explores the way we live through language, experiencing births, deaths, and rebirths through it, but the book also examines how our language is filled, controlled, and crafted by our societies. Advance Words include Clayton Couch's observation that Allegreza's "capacity to create resonant, 'deep' images is extraordinary." William Allegrezza has published poems around the world while editing Moria Poetry, a journal dedicated to experimental poetry and poetics, and Cracked Slab Books.
