Cartwheel to the Moon: My Sicilian Childhood

His beautiful, lyrical, sensitive poems recall the smell of the fig trees, the sound of the fountains, the beauty of the old villages surrounded by mountains. As X. J.

Lyrical Chiaroscuro
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This poet, strongly supported by the former poetry editor of the Paris Review and winner of a prestigious poetry translation prize, deserves far greater recognition than he has so far received. A certain tender melancholy deepens the charming memories of a time and place now fading forever. The reader will surely feel what he can never see and never experience.
