Small Talk
Mary Lou Sanelli
When Mary Lou Sanelli saw the cover painting by Lois Silver—“Girlfriends”—she longed for the intimacy these women share. So she set out to compile a collection of poems that captures the feeling the painting expresses, that innermost connection between people.
Here are those brief conversations that make us whole—small talk brimming with complexity, humor, fear, and life.
“Erudite, yet highly readable and entertaining, this engaging and comprehensive collection of poems has broad appeal. Sanelli touches hearts, minds, and funny bones with this very satisfying work of art.”

“Sanelli’s work is creative, beautifully written, and jaw-droppingly honest.”
