    Poet Talk with Joni Karen Caggiano

    Poet Talk with Joni Karen Caggiano

    I met with Joni to talk about the story behind her upcoming poetry book and she shared her heartfelt poetry. Have a listen.

    Joni Karen Caggiano is a true luminary in the realm of literature. Joni's poetic prowess, coupled with her keen eye for photography, has garnered international acclaim, making her a cherished figure in the literary community.

    Joni's accomplishments are nothing short of extraordinary. As a 2022 Pushcart Nominee for her stirring poem, "Old News is Not Old News," published by The Short of It Publishing, she has captivated audiences with her evocative words and profound insights. Her talent extends beyond her own works; she had the privilege of penning the Foreword for the Best Seller, "I Am In Itself Poetry In The Dark," by the esteemed Michelle Ayon Navajas.

    Her contributions to the literary landscape are as diverse as they are impactful. From winning Publication of the Month on SpillWords Press NYC to being crowned Co-Winner of Socialite of the Year for both 2023 and 2024, Joni's influence resonates far and wide. Her collaborative spirit shines through as a Co-Author of two #1 Amazon Bestselling books, "Hidden In Childhood" and "Wounds I Healed," as well as her inclusion in seven additional Poetry Anthologies.

    Joni's dedication to her craft is further exemplified by her forthcoming book of poetry, "One Petal at a Time," set to be released on April 5th. This collection promises to be a profound exploration of the human experience, inviting readers to delve deep into the beauty and complexity of life.

    Beyond her literary endeavors, Joni's commitment to advocacy and healing is truly commendable. As a retired nurse, ACOA (Adult Children of Alcoholics) survivor, and environmental advocate, she embodies resilience and compassion in all facets of her life.

    We invite you to join us in celebrating Joni's remarkable achievements and eagerly anticipate the release of "One Petal at a Time." Prepare to be moved, inspired, and uplifted by Joni's soul-stirring poetry.
