Intuition: the Ultimate Unity: A Collaboration of Fantasy and Reality Inspired Poems with Photo Art

By Nicole Cavaluzzi

Intuition: The Ultimate Unity is a collaboration of fantasy and reality inspired poems with photo art. In this profound poetry collection, Nicole confronts the entrenched mind, examining the distinction, transition and union of fantasy and reality. She takes us deep into the subliminal mind, challenging those questions we all ask ourselves: Is my ego or my subconscious driving my thoughts? Is this feeling inside me a consequence of love or pain? Are my ideas derived from a sober or altered state of mind? Is this ending really just my new beginning?
In Intuition: The Ultimate Unity Nicole aims to open our minds and touch our souls with words and images created by her personal experiences exploring the magical wonders of the human psyche. She shares her encounters in hope to intrigue us to embrace and interchange our own fantasies, realities, thoughts, dreams, visions, feelings and reactions.
Nicole sets the precedence that by following our intuition, anything and everything is possible inside our minds. Within our minds, we can enable our fantasies to transcend into our realities and thus, experience the ultimate unity. Nicole vows to always believe in the possibility of the ultimate unity of fantasy and reality, as she follows hers: Intuition.



Nicole has a consistent and distinctive poetic voice, one that is developed only through the diligent pursuit of one's craft. In this collection of poems she chronicles the sometimes tortured journey of falling in and out of love, and the dangers of surrendering emotionally and physically to another. Her poetry is often tinged with irony and yet she does not succumb to cynicism but perseveres. Her resilient hopefulness and sense of self-sacrifice is reminiscent of Oscar Wilde's thrush in his fairytale, The Happy Prince, where the bird presses its breast against a pale rose to redden its petals with his blood. It is a rose bought at great price that is finally given to an unappreciative lover who throws it away. ~
Gabor Barabas, Producer, NJ Repertory Company

In her search for distinction between fantasy and reality, Nicole confronts and exposes the human psyche in her latest collaboration of poetry with photo art, Intuition, The Ultimate Unity. She eloquently combines creative writing with abstract, yet beautiful, images. Insightful and impressive, Intuition, The Ultimate Unity is an impassioned experience: Truly a ride for one's senses!" ~
Jennifer Turiello, Vocal Artist, Musician, CA

Nicole Cavaluzzi

Conceived in Staten Island, NY, then raised in Monmouth County, NJ, Nicole Cavaluzzi is the epitome of a "Jersey Girl". She's experienced the many lifestyles of NJ living in college towns, cities, beaches, and farms as well as working for private industry, mass retailers, public corporations and government entities on military bases. Nicole has delved into everything from volunteering at theaters, to participating at art shows, and performing in martial arts, dance and music. She attended Rutgers State University of NJ for Communications, Public Relations and English and later Brookdale Community College for further education and career advancement in Computer Aided Draft Design and Engineering. By those who know her personally, she is a legacy amongst a family tree decorated with a collection of writers, artists and musicians...inevitably destined to have unlimited creative drive in the arts including writing (novels and poetry), sketching, painting, photography, dancing (jazz/ballet/hiphop/club), singing and martial arts. In addition to her love of the arts, she enjoys traveling, hiking, bike riding, cooking, socializing, networking and scary movies. Nicole is a dreaming achiever, heart-broken heart-breaker, independent yet, longing for a relationship, both introvert and extrovert, with the unique ability to connect with the human psyche through her art and writing. She is destined to open the gateway of the neglected, unexplored dimensions of the emotional mind.
