Excerpts from reviews of TUTTI FRUTTI:

"TUTTI FRUTTI is hot, sexy, witty and engrossing, Mahoney examines relationships, gay and straight, in an edgy, heart-warming fashion." (Lisa Kelly - Chair of Magma Poetry)

 

"TUTTI FRUTTI is a tour de force. The style and form of each poems fit the content perfectly. The reader is led, sometimes gently and sometimes not so gently, to different places round the world and places with ourselves." (Wendy French - London Grip)

 

"A skilled observer, Konstandinos Mahoney communicates his enthusiasm for life and language in every poem of this honest, warm, perceptive first collection. "(Janice Dempsey - Write Out Loud)

 

"Tutti Frutti is a wonderful collection of condensed, original, witty poems. It both celebrates and exposes family members, former lovers and chance encounters. Intimates and strangers alike are observed with passion, tender insight, sadness and despair. It would be fair to describe Dino Mahoney’s Tutti Frutti as a collection of love poems to all those people, as well as to his younger self." (Kate Rogers - Cha: An Asian Literary Journal)
