Set against the backdrop of an Italian-American heritage, these poems bridge the old and new worlds, capturing moments of joy, hardship, and personal discovery.

With themes of mental health, familial legacy, and the tensions of a bicultural identity, Rays of Light and Darkness invites readers into intimate spaces where past and present converge.
