Nerina

One of the most profound days of my life was up a mountain in Sicilia. Eternal thanks to Stefania Taviano for taking me around her homeland, and to her ancestral land, of olive trees growing on steep slopes. "Nerina” written by Annie Lanzillotto, was awarded an Allen Ginsberg Poetry Award Honorable Mention sponsored by the Poetry Center at Passaic County Community College.
