Reale, a poet who trains her eye on the Italian-American experience, reaches back to the past with sensibilities rooted in the present to illuminate those who have gone before us and how their very lives’ have shaped life today.  Family, culture, and memory intersect at the corner of what it means to be Italian, Italian-American and the peculiar desire for “home,” wherever in the world that might be.
