About the Book

"Those who read and reflect on Essentia: The Winding Path of the Soul, Selected Poems, will realize the ways inner turmoil leads to awakening. This is a precious collection that gives a precious gift." Feathered Quill This curated collection presents Joe Giampaolo's poems in both free verse and classical Japanese forms-haiku, tanka, and chöka. Readers can identify these forms by their distinctive syllabic patterns: haiku (5-7-5), tanka (5-7-5-7-7), and chöka (5-7-5...7-7). These poems invite you to reflect on how suffering and inner turmoil can spark transformation, awakening us to a life beyond learned beliefs and unveiling the deeper, truer self beneath our conditioned persona. Most of these poems were first shared in Joe's award-winning collections-Deep Craving, From the Book of Dreams, Metanoia, and An Unlikely Sunset-with a few brand new pieces included just for you. In their original publications, these poems touched many hearts and received several literary awards, as well as five-star reviews from readers and critics alike, including Indies Today, Manhattan Book Review, Self-Publishing Review, Feathered Quill, Chicago Book Review, Literary Titan, BookShelfie, Readers' Favorite, and BookView. May these poems become companions on your own journey and inspire reflections that linger in your heart. Editorial Reviews of Joe's Poetry (Excerpts) "His beautiful verses cover a myriad of subjects, touching on them all with tenderness and wit. Truly beautiful, and a must-read!" Manhattan Book Review "Reading Giampaolo's offerings is like reading haiku created by the great Matsuo Bashō. The US Review of Books "It's a fantastic poetry collection by a lyrical wordsmith." Readers' Favorite "An Unlikely Sunset stands as a remarkable achievement in contemporary poetry." BookShelfie "Very emotive poetry that raises existential questions that truly matter. Very enjoyable and accessible poetry." John P. Portelli (University professor and poet) "Beautiful in its simplicity and bold in its truthfulness." Indies Today "The joys and sorrows, challenges, and triumphs of life are highlighted throughout these poems." Readers' Favorite "In Deep Craving, it is easy to see the beauty of poetry. The allegories and representations of nature are clear and attached to the feelings of life." Literary Titan "Giampaolo weaves passion, philosophy, and mysticism into a powerful anthology that vividly explores the intricacies of the human experience." BookView "Unveiling these poetic reflections in the stark and simple forms of haiku, tanka, and chöka, Giampaolo's mastery of these revered styles is undeniable." Self-Publishing Review "Joe Giampaolo crafts a luminous and meditative collection...Elegant, philosophical, and deeply human, this book is both a poetic retreat and a soulful guide for modern readers."
