• Not for Amnesia

  Not for Amnesia is a chapbook that was published by Cervena Barva Press in 2023. Most of the poems were written in Brooklyn, NYC in the late 80s. The poems were influenced by Anne Sexton and Sylvia Plath and Stevie Smith, all very different but important female artists. The poems range in topic from haunting toys, bad therapy, the edge of romance, hangovers, day gigs in offices, desire and longing. They are meant to capture an episode in the poet's life, a place and a time. From a blurb on the back cover: "Once again Ms. Galluccio with her heady images and songlike poems, marches into your psyche. Her latest offering of poems, small sacrifices on the altar of memories and forgetting, does not disappoint. Her poems blend into a crooning song about lust, love, remorse, and sometimes anguish..." Julia Carlson, author of "Little Creatures."

• Hot Rain

  Published by Ibbetson Street Press, my first chapbook was mostly written in New York City about becoming an artist and in the crucible of love affairs. From a blurb on the back cover: "Lo Galluccio is a true artist, dreamer and poet. Her unusual cadence and mixed images speak to the soul in almost song-like verse. She balances from dark to light moods, raising questions about sanity, one's personal future and the whole idea of a spiritual path. I believe she understands the artist through and through...the need to connect, the need to diverge..." Deborah Priestly, Author of "The Woman has a Voice."

• Terrible Baubles

  Terrible Baubles is a chapbook published by Alternating Current Press in 2010 and also a CD of spoken and sung material produced by Eric Zinman (pianist/composer) and Jane Wang (cellist.) We performed at Squawk coffeehouse and the Lilypad in Cambridge, MA. It’s a real aesthetic trip to sail through the world of Lo Galluccio’s poetry. None of the usual 1,2,3’s, but dice-throws of logic that ultimately force the reader to re-think the whole political-psychological structure of contemporary reality. You really get inside Lo Galluccio and let her flow through you and it’s like a trip through the psychedelic Andes. Poet and writer Hugh Fox.

• Sarasota VII

  Sarasota VII is a prose-poem memoir in two parts, published by Cervena Barva Press. It was inspired by Paul Auster's "Invention of Solitude" and Elizabeth Smart's "By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept." The first part concerns a lost love, both menacing and intense, and her father's obession with an energy invention. From a blurb on the back: "Passionate, poignant and concise, Lo Galluccio's "Sarasota VII" presents us with a story of loss and raw deliquent energy, woven into a great surreal web of metaphors and magic." Flavia Cosma, poet of "Gothic Calligraphy" and "Season of Love."
