REVIEWS & INTERVIEWS
UP MAGAZINE INTERVIEW
“The Aftermath of Unrest is a one of a kind poetry experience that combines language with art and fate. This new collection of work by NYC-based poet Natalie Nascenzi marks her second publication, following her March 2020 release Out of Chaos. Nascenzi’s latest release pairs her poetry with Grant McGrath’s paintings, a matchup resulting from serendipity.

HEY! IT’S CARLY RAE BOOK REVIEW - Out of Chaos
“I loved every poem in this novella, but Morning Coffee was my favorite. The verses were great as well as the imagery.

That isn’t something that can easily be achieved but I think Author Natalie Nascenzi did just that, allowing us as the reader to feel what she felt…”

“In our interview, Natalie and I had a great time talking about her book, The Aftermath of Unrest, which is a poetry/memoir. We also discuss lockdown and how it affected New York City, along with the crazy circumstances that bring people together…”
“Be prepared to set aside some time to read this [Out of Chaos] as you won’t want to put it down once you’ve started on the emotional journey with Natalie. Her words and story show immense growth through her struggles and you’ll find yourself relating closely to at the very least 2 or 3 poems. I’ve personally dog-eared many of my favorites to revisit again as I continue on my own journey of rediscovery filled with newfound hope for the future. You won’t regret picking a copy!”
“[Out of Chaos] This beautiful journey about finding yourself will ring true with anyone who has lost their way. Truly a modern day allegory—one that I’ll read again and again.”
“Using a combination of beautifully put poems, Nascenzi walks you through a common journey that we all go through - finding ourselves. It paints a picture in your head and leaves a print on your heart. Out of Chaos is a must read!”
