A Collection of Short Stories
A group of short stories tells of the lives and loves and desires and needs of ordinary people who have dreamed life and experienced the excitements, pains, love and loneliness of living. It tells of people alone and without love, of people surrounded by many and without love, of eternal love, of passing-by people who touch others with feathered gentleness or with rough sandpaper. From a far off island, an isolated farm, a cold Broadway theater, a library, a classroom and a retirement house you hear the stories of men and women living and needing to live more. From a doctor’s office, a telephone room, a credit office, a television soundstage, a subway ride you become a part of the big hopes, eternal joys, small failings and tiny dreams of men and women loving and needing to be found and loved more. From the private worlds of success, despair, loneliness, and isolation you encounter band-aids that helped the characters to live and to survive. From the imagination of another being you find out about others and yourself as you live their lives through words which are SMALL DROPS OF INK.
Reviews:
“Whether evoking the heart-warming stories of his “Nonna” and family life in South Philadelphia, taking the imagination for a roller coaster ride in his lyrical and endearing children’s stories, or exploring the foibles of human nature and the dark recesses of the mind (the excellent “Small Drops of Ink” tales), Vincent Iezzi manages to conjure up all the landscapes where the heart dares to wander. His style is simplicity itself and his descriptions are so effortless; one is never quite prepared for some of the dramatic punches his intriguing narratives deliver. Long after plot details and the names of the characters have been forgotten, the reader remains haunted by the emotions this writer stirs up.”

“A big departure for this author but the writing, suspense, surprises and drama are powerful and praiseworthy. Highly recommend for all lovers of books and reading.”
