Born in Tuscany, Italy. Currently living close to Florence and Vinci, Leonardo's hometown. Doctor in Medicine, specialized in Neurosurgery, with an ancient passion for Poetry, he is the Author of over 2, 000 poems published in 20 personal books. Frosini writes in Italian, his native language, and English. He is the founder of the International Association "Poets Unite Worldwide, " with which he has published more than 50 Anthologies.
Among his own books: « The Chinese Gardens - English Poems », « Prelude to the Night », « Anita Quiclotzl & Her Souls - Anita Quiclotzl e le Sue Anime » (Bilingual Ed.) - [for the others, see below].~*~In Frosini's Poetry:1. The Truth is Affirmed ; 2. Beauty is Conveyed ; 3. The Personal becomes the Universal. One of the key terms in contemporary poetry is 'POETRY OF WITNESS'. "Florence, A Walk With A View" is an excellent example of this type of poem.
It exchanges the anger we experienced in the preceding poem with melancholy, but this is a haunted and desperate melancholy, not at all like the word's root meaning of sweet sorrow. Yet, in Fabrizio Frosini's poem, the city charms the visitor with its natural beauty - "the silky lights of the / Sunset" - and artistic ambiance - "the intimate warmth of nostalgia that makes / Your heart melt at the sight around".
In the finest poetry, beauty is conveyed in all of it sensuous and spiritual glory. The title "Water Music" refers to one of Handel's most popular works, a masterpiece of baroque melody, rhythm and harmony. The poem, however, is not about this music.. here is a shining element of the beauty this poem conveys - "I was in my room, staring at the clear sky through the window. The moon, so pale and magical, drawing my imagination to her.
In my ears Handel's music was playing softly." - There is the beauty of VITA NOVA, in this Frosini's poem: Dante's idealization of Beatrice with its artistic and moral benefits experienced by a contemporary couple. And finally the beauty of sublimation, when an otherwise sensuous experience must be transferred to the plane of the Imagination. Other Frosini's poem, like "Nocturnal Snowing", are Poems of Memory, that reveal the persistence of an experience of mutual attraction in the poet's life over many decades.
There, a young woman, who is forever young and lovely in the poet's mind, becomes a touchstone of emotional value. But not all good experiences are given a future by the hand of fate. And so Fros... Daniel J. Brick (Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA)I was born in the Twin Cities in 1947 and lived my whole life here. This is where I am rooted, near the Mississippi River, in a landscape of four seasons with many trees and parks and lakes.
These are the natural things I treasure. Poetry and classical music are my passions. Over the years most of my friends have moved to warmer climates, so in old age I find myself to be something of a loner. But I have a talent for solitude.

I'm a university lecturer and scientist by day and a dreamy moonlighting poet who burns the midnight oil on his poetry blog.
I was educated at University of Melbourne [Ph. D. and B. Sc.(Hons) in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology] and currently serve as a Senior Lecturer in the Molecular Plant Sciences. I was born and have lived most of my life in Sri Lanka, but I'm infused with traces of influence from Australia and the Philippines where I have resided for significant time periods. I consider myself an old-fashioned romantic and a drifter of fate who meanders like a river unknowing of it's course.
I am also a prime example of a late bloomer who loves the little things in life - quirky trivia, haiku poems and fireflies.

I live in the USA, in Nebraska, with my wife and two of my four children. My wife and I are not native to this blandly attractive, relentlessly sunny area. We grew up in the Pacific Northwest, which features spectacular scenery, but also quite gloomy weather.
I have brought that gloom with me, and it often shows up in my poems. Though I graduated from college, my degrees are in economics, not English or literature. I currently work part-time hauling freight in the back of a department store. My background, my distance from the "lit-crit" department/workshop hothouse, and my real-world job probably help to give my poems their unusual matter-of-factness.
So, too, does my intense admiration for Elizabethan English poetry. I honestly believe that English language poetry, for the most part, steadily has declined since that era.

I fell in love with drawing before I started grade school and love reading stories from various writers. I am an admirer of William Wordsworth, William Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, Guy de Maupassant and few rising poets. I started composing poems since I was in my early teens. I am not an effective painter but I love to draw or paint, for the cravings of my fingers. I can't call myself a poet but I have passion for poetry and write when my feelings ask me to.

The birthplace of Aphrodite - a peaceful town rich in culture and mythology, beautiful seashores, and abundant all-year-round sunshine; an inspiration for any sensitive soul.

New Zealand is my native country. Although I was born in Christchurch, in the South Island, now I reside in the heart of Northland (in Maori: Te Tai Tokerau; it is the northernmost region in North Island). I live in a serene valley with her mountain, her trees, her streams and green fields, that capture, heal, calm and enchant me.
I am a quiet reflective person. I enjoy motorcycle riding, fishing, painting and gardening. I am married to a good man who loves me. Poetry is carved deep in my soul and keeps me breathing on a healing journey. My career, nursing, has greatly influenced my pen, sharing her ink with my past. I write dark poetry. Oftentimes my muse writes itself such as "Spirit Drifts", for I do not believe in capital punishment.
My poetry slips in the shoes and reflects from the eyes of other people's lives, their experiences and beliefs.
