While Carmine Starnino’s debut covers much ground—translations of Italian poets he has admired, monologues by characters in the New Testament, meditations on Caravaggio’s religious paintings—it 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.
Reviews
“This is a book of small but moving, delicate epiphanies.” –Eric Ormsby
“This poet distinguishes himself from his Canadian peers…Starnino offers sentiment without sentimentality, establishing himself as both communicator and artisan.” –Ronald Charles Epstein, Canadian Book Review Annual
