One would typically think an Italian writer would have to put pen to paper to create Italian poems of love and passion, however, these poems were brought to life by a Canadian poet, Garry Priam.

While living in Northern Italy the past 9 years, Garry learned the Italian language, discovered the nuances of the culture while he immersed himself in daily living as a resident and not as a typical tourist. Upon arrival to Italy from Canada, he knew only 3 words from the most sensual and passionate language in the world. After years of learning he has published a book on Italian Love Poetry.
