The Home Stretch by Michael Campagnoli is not afraid to experiment with form and movement, in a collection that weaves dialogue, theme, and image together. Metaphor drives the collection of poems, as seen in "Loons", when the speaker says:
There, in the distance,
two threw back
their wet black heads, gave
answer and reply
answer and reply
sad-sweet skirl of melody.
Almost entwined, they slipped
beneath the water’s edge. Silent.
Disappeared.
