Nothing Grows in One Place Forever: Poems of a Sicilian American
" What Leo Luke Marcello captures in Nothing Grows in One Place Forever: Poems of a Sicilian American is the essence of how immigrant culture evolves into ethnic culture. His carefully crafted collection of 60 poems chart the stages of assimilation and its impact on his personal and professional lives with bittersweet passion, and is a major contribution to Italian-American literature."
Fred Gardaphe(Fra Noi)
". . . a beautiful study of how our histories, personal and cultural, not only inform our present lives, but indeed , make us the unique individuals we are."
David Bottoms, author of Armored Hearts
". . . quietly passionate. . ."
Mary Ann Wilson (Sicilia Parra)
"This is the real thing, a rich and loving portrait of the past."
Anthony Lombardy (Italian Americana)
