OverviewThe poetry in PRIVATE PITCH explores family, food, and tradition and how they serve to both expose and inform the masks we wear to hide our imperfections, our pain, our fears-our private pitch-from the world. We may discover that what we protect so fiercely is often not as frightening as the masks we wear to cover it.

There is no metronome needed to follow the steady heartbeat of a thudding cane in the winter of life. This poetic concerto reminds us that a slower tempo allows reflection on the real lessons of life. If your ears are attentive, you may hear prayers of Baba on a boat from Croatia, the cooing of an infant in a dream, or a great horned owl yearning for supper. This midnight sonata may reveal that we all possess butterfingers trying to seize yesterdays that have managed to slowly slip away. Zivio to Karen Basiulis for this rich poetic score. -Tommy Domino, author of Switches, Hot Wheel Tracks & Extension Cords Expect no clich�s here. Expect no predictable answers to life's ambiguities. In Private Pitch, Karen Basiulus gives us poems filled with reverence for life's mysteries; these are poems about human to human connection and poems that explore the nature of nature-civilized and wild. With wry, sometimes dark, humor and rich precision of image and language, these poems remind us of our humanity. This is poetry! It is lyrical, true and reminds us at every turn that, ""Angels should guard the living."" -Linda Neal, author of Not About Dinosaurs" Author InformationKaren Butier Basiulis has been writing since childhood, coming back to poetry after retiring from a career in contracts and project management.
