What Readers Are Saying
"The poems are evocative, meaningful, and have a greater emphasis on the artistic process as poet Robert Cozzi seems to be looking back on the process of creating his earlier works.
The symbolic richness of these poems shows his progression as a poet."
"kaleidoscope of colors is filled with as many wonderful aspects as the kaleidoscope is color and shapes. Each poem will take you on a different path, whether it be vulnerability, loss, love, friendships, or powerful memories. All of these messages converge to create a beautiful representation of the human experience."
“Sky of Dreams” is an emotive collection that will warm the heart and challenge the mind. The poems follow themes & motifs that Cozzi’s previous works have touched upon, such as lost chances, romance, using touchstones of senses, nature, and light to describe his feelings. Author Robert Cozzi is a compelling storyteller, able to weave a complex tapestry of action and emotion in a few well-chosen words.
"Blanket of Hearts" dwells on the intoxication of romantic love. Built from short lyrics, typically 20 lines or less, these pieces contain a lot of feeling. The lines themselves never leave the subject of love, compelled by its seductive totality. Take the poem “Desire,” for example: “Sifting through your magical gleam / Is like a dance with the surreal / The night has induced its spell / And a scent of promise has arrived / Spilling desire ravenously.” Love is more than just situational; it is the poetic subject and reason for living."
"It’s this mixture of the mysterious, the reverent, and the emotional that make this collection effective. Even with the different focus for certain poems, there is no doubt that these are poems by the same writer, as they all convey a similar tenderness and fluidity with language."
"As with his other collections, Cozzi demonstrates his talent through a simple poetic style with short, sweet lines and sentences with the intention of evoking emotion through imagery and sharply-delivered musings. Cozzi has a penchant for light subjects and heavy emotions, contrasting some Wordsworth-esque pieces centered on the joys of love and the enjoyment of nature with harsher pieces on the pain of loss – moreso, perhaps, than either of his other collections."
