Crossing over

"This collection of poetry by the author of Storm over Morocco reveals a young and a mature man's inner journey as he travels from California to Paris and the Mediterranean, discovering Italian and French identities. Particularly moving are the poems "Ma Fille" and "Held you," both exploring the poet's relations to his children." -Mary Ann Frese, Professor Emerita, Comparative Literature, North Carolina State University "Frank Romano throws himself headlong-physically and spiritually-into the world. In Crossing Over, Romano generously extends himself through language to make his experiences our own." -Martha Witt, Author of Broken As Things Are Professor of Creative Writing at William Paterson University "Impossible not to feel more alive after reading Frank Romano's volcanic bursts of poetry." -Ruth Wire, Poet, HayWire Writers' Workshop
