Oxford Street

“David Bellusci’s latest poetry explores the intricate dynamics of family relationships and their influence on a child’s psyche. The author crafts a masterful tale of two parallel and intertwined representations centered on the inherent sacredness of the family. Oxford Street is a fascinating exploration of the family as the primary form and foundation of human connection and emotions, told with intense spirituality, power, and elegance.”


—Anna Foschi Ciampolini, co-founder, Association of Italian-Canadian Writers





“David Bellusci’s Oxford Street offers a rich poetry collection taking the reader on a reflective journey of childhood and how images/relations/events are stored in the memory. Through memory, myth, and psychology, the reader probes the mystery of childhood—the fears and needs that are created. Oxford Street challenges the reader on a provocative journey of personal reflection and discovery.”


—Lara Paniagua, education consultant child psychologist





“David Bellusci’s Oxford Street choreographs a resplendent dance of destiny among the mythic, the psychoanalytic, and the everyday. In moving lyrical images, a counter-punctual poetic drama unfolds that reveals the grandeur of childhood, its mysteries, its terrors, its fleeting consolations, and its fragile singularity that glows with hope. Enchanting and thought-provoking, Oxford Street is a delightful read.”
