Bøker av Richard Vetere

In summer of 1965, Christopher Ricci's mother has runaway. Unable to take care of him, his father decides to leave the thirteen year old with his own sister in upstate New York. In this poignant coming of age novel, Chris tries his best to adapt to life in rural New York, navigate first love, and make sense of his changing world.

Vetere's poetry is built on a beautiful, spare language that keeps him always on point. At times bracing and revealing, he is also capable of infusing his poetry with a good dose of sober comedy.

Young painter Mario Minitti and several others--Fillide Meladrone, Archbishop Pietero Aldrobondini, Ranuccio Tomassoni, and Nunzio Pulzone--came to Rome at the turn of the century in 1600 to find fame and fortune. Their stories intersect as they fall in love with one another and share a common bond: they were painted by the great Caravaggio.
