Felt This So Many Times

By Antony V. Plocido

Published: 2018

This is Antony V. Plocido's third book of poetry. The paper version is being released by Spartan Press of KC. These poems a bit of shift from his previous books as they were all written within one year. This caused the author to seek different forms than just the performance based poetry of the past two books. Antony's poems are considered "accessible". He doesn't write for other poets. He writes to get people to love the art.

"Tony Plocido's poems in Felt This So Many Times are a catalogue of the hurt and desire that are the earmarks of his ragged generation. Overlook his collection and you overlook an important, emotionally attuned, powerful emerging voice."
—Mike Finley - Minneapolis-area poet
