Marking their 17th published work, Writing Lines: Collected Poetic Works &
Essays From A to Z 1992-2017, Antonio Cassone offers a look back at his
body of work with musings about life, love and loss. Presented alphabetically, as Cassone always
likes for each piece to stand alone, this collection runs the gamut of emotion
and displays a variety of insights from the writer’s authentic point of
view. It is a look at just an aspect of
a career…thus far. Front Cover Photo by
