Love, Pain, and Pride

By Salvatore Digaetano

What is the measure of a man? What makes him who he is? As you journey through Love, Pain, and Pride , you'll fall into the lyrical rhythm of the words of poet Salvatore DiGaetano Jr., who lays out his own identity in this collection bursting with love, heartbreak, rumination on God and spirituality, and patriotism. DiGaetano's love for poetry goes back many years, and he began penning his own just after serving his country in the US Army. Playing with words and laying bare his own soul on the page revealed to him the magnificent and inspiring journey that is life and the human condition. Some of the works in this collection are based on experience; others are flights of fancy spun from his imaginings. But all connect both the pain and pleasure of life with heartfelt expression and honest feelings. The trappings of sin, the despair of heartbreak, the loyalty among veterans, and even the beauty of the tears of the Savior-the gamut of human emotion awaits you in this collection. Open your heart and mind, and enjoy!
