Remarkable, really, the way in The Kingdom Where Everybody Sings Off Key Helen Ruggieri moves from her life's early music when she was a teen angel with a Jersey Girl's desires, when in the dark of a car her angora sweater "electrified itself" as it slipped over her hair & when, somewhere, it was always 1955 with Little Richard & Elvis & doo-wop ? to, for example, the mature & spiritual reconciliations with the past that we hear in her penultimate poem in which she realizes "the larger rhythms rocking us" & embraces/makes a part of her being that "cepuscular kingdom / where no one keeps time." Yearning & yearning for the past subside, & the poet stands whole, in an off-key but deeply human twilight of poetry & deep understanding. This is a hard-earned, wonderful book.

Nearly every poem references the theme of music. All the great oldies are here: the Beatles "Hey Jude", Janis Joplin, Leadbelly, Chuck Berry, Bobby Darin "Beyond the Sea", Little Richard, and many more and in contexts that made you smile with recognition (the floating dock at the lake, the sex in the parked car, Moose Club Saturday night, singing in the shower). The pull of nostalgia and the loss of that world are vivid. Helen Ruggieri knows the melody of life. I betcha you will love to hear her...c'mon baby
in the key of summer
