At The Tone
“Janis Joplin proved she meant it when she sang, I’ll trade in all my tomorrows for a
single yesterday. Paul Genega, in At The Tone, keeps his yesterdays equally alive without
trading any of his tomorrows. He’s not seduced by nostalgia, but tackles it head on. His
poems are reminiscent of Cavafy – brief encounters never dull the imagination; they only
ignite it. He accomplishes what few poets have been able to do – he makes us his accom-
plices in matters of love.”– Hal Sirowitz
“These are powerful poems, certain to evoke in the reader a sense of gratitude for
Genega’s language and humanity.”– Simon Perchik
