Revised Second Edition of International Award-Winning Poet Josie Di Sciascio-Andrews Since the 2015 release of A Jar of Fireflies, Josie Di Sciascio-Andrews has become a very significant internationally recognized poet. Critical Acclaim for Josie Di Sciascio-Andrews “ Josie Di Sciascio-Andrews takes the universe, expanding from its zero point and molds it into a series of poems about intimacy, angst, memory, identity, death – and the hope – the impossible light that keeps us all going.” – Michael Mirolla, three-time Bressani Prize-winning author “ A Jar of Fireflies is about quests. In particular, it is about the quest in space and time to find a balance...The author’ s journey concerns the discovery of certain moments of the past to complete her mission in poetry.” – Laurence Hutchman in Vallum: Contemporary Poetry “ Josie Di Sciascio-Andrews collects memories like she collects sea glass along the shore. It’ s her quiet polishing of word gems that first drew me to her work...What makes her work shine is her ability to pull in the reader with both her narrative style and sparkling-fresh metaphors.” – Debbie Okun Hill, poet/blogger/freelance writer
