Carmine Starnino
While Carmine Starnino's debut covers much groundtranslations of Italian poets he has admired, monologues by characters in the New Testament, meditations on Caravaggio's religious paintingsit is his examination of his immigrant family that demands the most admiration. The New World offers the reader an unforgettable glimpse of one poet's cultural inheritance.
