In Aperture we discover that Elisa crossed an ocean, leaving behind her Italian childhood in the countryside for a new life in New York City. The poems in this poignant debut collection capture the courageous efforts of an immigrant grabbling with language, identity and the challenges of getting an education. Through the author's deep reflections, we witness the enduring power of caring individuals, relate to mundane beauty found in everyday moments, and sense the resilience of the human spirit. She invites you to discover how she navigate cultures balancing hope and uncertainty with evocative verses that tug at your heart.
