Poet Vittoria Repetto reads from her book Not Just A Personal Ad April 5, 2007

Showcasing a subtle poet who has preserved her working-class sensibility and taste for the language of daily life while maintaining an acute ear for literary echoes, this powerful collection explores the life of a lesbian Italian American woman. From the first poem where she places her grandparents young and in love right in front of the reader, to "she's doing the dishes" where a tongue-in-cheek delivery eroticizes a simple household chore, the poet casts an unapologetically direct and witty eye on life's complexity and paints unforgettable moments within unforgettable scenes.
