Most of the poems collected in "Marginal Brilliance" began as scribbled notes, either in the margins of notebooks or on pieces of scrap paper. With some, I try to find a deeper meaning in things; with others, I’m just capturing a moment — like a photographer snapping a photo.
"Thomas Veale (The Legend of Dungeon Rock)" is John Cacciatore's epic poem about an actual New England pirate ghost story.
