Joe Cacciotti began writing poetry when he was seventeen years old. He found that sometimes when thoughts are written into words, magic happens. Says Joe, "I'm not talking about genies popping out of bottles but how I am able to see things more clearly. How beautiful this world truly is!"
Joe tells of being shy as a young man and missing opportunities to talk to the special ladies he liked. One day, he wrote a poem for a girl he had his eye on but was too shy to ask on a date. "I walked up to her, handed her the poem, and walked away. Later, she approached me, and we went out on a date. I found the magic potion to breaking the ice was a piece of paper and a writing pen."
Joe began collecting his writings in a notebook. After being told by many different people that he should share his writings with others, he published the ones he thought would touch hearts the most. Joe received a prestigious award for that first book, Poems for the Heart, as being one of the Top Five Most Inspirational Books of 2011. "I hope my poems are an inspiration to all and will help others find their own magic."
"Poems for the Heart, Volume II" is the next presentation in Joseph Cacciotti's collection of poetry.
