Louis Gallo is a poet who is finely tuned to actualities with the ability to exhibit them from unexpected angles. Each poem arrests the attention of the readers in a way to make us stop and reflect on these intense experiences. With brilliant precision, the poems in Crash engage the readers to balance between the poet's sympathetic perception of the earnest human condition and subtle humor. - Kristina Kočan, Poet, (Sara, 2008; Kolesa in murve, 2014; Sivje, 2018)Maribor, Slovenia
Louis Gallo's poems are always beautifully crafted yet accessible. They are savvy yet heartfelt, ironic but wistfully so. - Gail Howard, poetry editor, Thema Magazine
A writer of fiction (much of it hilarious) and essays both scholarly and personal (often the product of deep study), as well as a teacher who has opened the minds of generations of students, Louis Gallo is a poet of many dimensions ... - Ralph Adamo, editor The Xavier Review, author of Ever
...But reliant as he is on such colossi of often abstract, complex ideas, his poems first and foremost are always anchored with keen wit in the grit and gristle of a living world, one Gallo clearly finds both intoxicating and erotic. .. - Randall R. Freisinger, author of Plato's Breath, winner of the May Swenson Poetry Prize, Utah State University Press
Louis Gallo is the founding editor of the now-defunct journals, The Barataria Review and Books: A New Orleans Review. His work has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize several times. He is the recipient of an NEA grant for fiction. He teaches at Radford University in Radford, Virginia.
