Shosholoza

In memoriam of Vincent Ventriglia

Poetry that refuses to look away—unflinching in its honesty yet radiant with wonder. These works explore the raw realities of chronic illness, childhood trauma, heartbreak, and more, to testify the beauty of resilience and our propensity for hope. Each poem is an invitation to sit with both the ache and the awe, to continue to endure, and to decide, despite agony, to live in astonishment.
