Bronx Rhapsody

Bronx Rhapsody by Maria Meli, published by CreateTank in 2018.

The words of Bronx Rhapsody move to the beat of Maria Meli's heart and the wrenching of her core. In her poems, one senses her relief and ecstasy for having been able to let go. This second-generation Sicilian American takes us on a long journey, one that sings of her beginnings within the household of her immigrant family, enclosed by its traditions in its bucolic Bronx setting, and poignantly portrays her coming of age and her pilgrimage to adulthood. The trajectory embraces a luscious eight-decade lifespan from the time she was born in the years before World War II until the present.

A lovely addition to your coffee table or bookshelf, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves history.
