PAINTING CITIE BY PAULA BRANCATO
“Bloody, hot, organic,” Paula Brancato’s poems take us to the heart of destruction, whether she is writing about New York City in the unreconstructed 1970s, New Orleans after Katrina, war-torn Baghdad, or El Salvador. Here is poetry of direct statement ignited by violent passions, blazing with a fierce light.
-- Anne Whitehouse, author of Blessings and Curses and Bear in Mind
From New York to Vail to London to El Mozote and beyond, Painting Cities is a collection of evocative poems about the intersection of place, love, and politics. These poems are lush, full of life, hope and sensuality. The poem Patrizia ends with“Then she begins to speak.” Paula Brancato does this and so much more.
-- Janet R. Kirchheimer, author of How to Spot One of Us

"After your comments, I felt such a sense of urgency. I've already rewritten the entire script (you were right, it didn't take long), and let me tell you that your one fix was monumental." Laura Saari, Pulitzer Prize nominated journalist
"... what you're doing is working. My pitch to the industry went extremely well. The editors were not only extremely interested and helpful but said that it was the best pitch he'd ever heard." Eric Von Mizener, screenwriter/novelist
"...excellent advice. I sold my script for more than three times the original bid! I could not have closed the deal without you." Matt Lutz, first time screenwriter
"You were able to communicate what works and what doesn’t in the writing and in selling my work. You have a keen sense for what will become successful." Kristina Sisco Romero, Emmy award winning actress and writer
