Literature Ric Carfagna Biography Ric Carfagna is the author of 15 collections of poetry, most recently Null Set and Dakota Journal published by X-pressed. His poetry has evolved from the early experimental radicalities of his first two books, Confluential Trajectories and Porchcat Nadir, to the unsettling existential mosaics of his current collections, including his ongoing multi-book project Notes On NonExistence. Ric is the Poetry Review Editor for the E-Journal, Poetic Inhalation. His poems have been published widely in America as well as in Europe and Scandinavia. Ric’s poetry speaks from a distance, not the distance of an aloof exterior realm, but within the vicinity of the heart of humanity;  quarrying through words for an answer, he seeks to bring to light layers interred by the shadows of an unconscious awareness, emerging as it does from an inner need to trace the labyrinth common to all  who carry the burden of life’s unfolding questions through to their inevitable end.
