Poetry. OVERNIGHT is Paul Violi's eleventh book of poems. "Deft, magical, filled with light, Violi's poetry is pure pleasure. He uses form with a mock-seriousness that would put most formailists to shame. These are poems of one who seems to love life, despite its abundant absurdities, and to love poetry"—American Book Review.
