IAWA Features Bordighera Authors: Joey Nicoletti and Nicole Santalucia on Sat. Aug. 13 @ Sidewalk Cafe

IAWA . (August 2, 2016)
Of Santalucia's book, Brian Fanelli writes: "The poems are unflinching in their handling of the personal, something fewer and fewer contemporary poets are doing ... there are plenty of miracles in "Because I Did Not Die ..."

The Italian American Writers Association is celebrating its 25th Anniversary in 2016. Since 1991, IAWA has given voice to writers through its literary series every second Saturday of the months. Readings begin with an Open Mic: IAWA-East is held even months at Sidewalk Café and IAWA-West continues at Cornelia Street Café on odd months. Visit and join us at iawa.net
