The Cracker Box Poems
"Full length collection of poetry and coming-of-age-poems written from the perspective of a young Italian boy living in a diverse, working-class Queens neighborhood. Joe Benevento's coming-of-age poems of promise, misconnection, and loss. Promise of lasting love and friendship, meaningful work, respect for and from adults. Yearnings that are undone by youthful awkwardness, peer pressure, the strictures of grownups, happenstance, and the passage of time, as when chipping collected rocks in the cellar of a boyhood friend"--
