What People Are Saying

about

(for goodness' sake)

 

The word that immediately comes to mind is “sensual.” Ranson-Polizzotti poems are alive with the possibilities of the senses - of touching, of tasting, the joy of sight, the pleasures of taste - even in the absence of the spoken word. How sweetly ironic that the two people in “Such Fruit” don't say a single word.
– Richard Kamins, The Hartford Courant

Praise for Ranson-Polizzotti poems on New Amsterdam Records’ Words Project II,
with original settings by Sam Sadigursky and other writing...

“Sadi brings an unyielding, sometimes self-lacerating honesty, a poet's ear, a critic’s eye, and a literary mind to everything she writes. That she touches readers in so many ways is no coincidence.”
– Eric Olsen, Publisher, Blogcritics

“Eels can be read in a heartbeat, but the erotic power of that heartbeat is remarkable…”
– Review of Contemporary Fiction

“Such Fruit - The Ritual” is a lovely number that perfectly captures the longing and ambivalence of romance.”
– Brad Walseth, Jazz Chicago

More luminous moments come during blogger Sadi Ranson-Polizzotti “Such Fruit,” an intimate, snapshot-like poem that recounts the rituals often performed by lovers—in this instance, eating juicy pears while rocking on a swing—as well as Harlem renaissance icon Langston Hughes’ enveloping “The Dream Keeper.”
– Martin Gladu, All About Jazz

Also new on New Amsterdam Records, Sam Sadigursky presents the second installment of The Words Project. Sam has crafted intricate musical settings of texts by literary heavyweights Andrew Boyd, Czeslaw Milosz, Langston Hughes, Sadi Ranson-Polizzotti, David Ignatow, Audre Lorde, and Caitlin Upton.
– Darcy James Argue’s Secret Society

Sadi Ranson-Polizzotti lover's delight “Such Fruit-The Ritual” are points of light.
– Elliott Simon, All About Jazz
