A Home Without A Roof

Beschreibung

This book was born of spontaneity, just like the author's life in Venice, Italy. Not knowing why, it had to be written, just as the author had to leave Indiana amidst America's 1970's turmoil. She left art school in Indianapolis, Indiana, and her conservative upbringing, for an art course in Italy. The semester abroad lasted thirty-five years, which provided the fodder for this memoir. While wandering the streets and canals of Venice, the author's life took many twists and turns. The unchartered course led to surprise after surprise-some astonishingly wonderful, some tragic. During this time, she married two Italian men, divorced two Italian men, had a son raised without support, started a fashion business, learned Venetian cooking, rowed Venetian style in the canals and lagoon, painted frescos, learned to gild, painted faux marble, had a paranormal experience, survived cancer, met extraordinary people, and became a Venetian citizen. An unusual journey in a city rife with art led to envisioning life's big picture through the eyes of an artist. In A Home Without a Roof, Venice is described as a metaphor for an open mind: a beautiful character living freely, with some bad habits, but nevertheless loved. Become acquainted with the author. You'll discover the unimaginable richness she can bring to your life by opening your eyes to the bigger picture of existence on this earth and beyond.

Autor

The muse of music called to Celia Latz from an early age, but she eventually found her inspirations emerging on the typewriter, not the piano. While she couldn't play a sonata, she could type words. After studying painting in Venice, Italy and a twenty-five-year career in textile painting, Celia turned to writing fulltime. She uses the makings of music-rhythm, timing, memory, and emotions-to compose her verse.She was compelled to write A Song of Love by her love of music, words, and truth, combined with thirty-five years of lived experience in Italy. Her other published works includes the memoir A Home Without a Roof, several short stories in So It Goes: The Journal of the Kurt Vonnegut Museum & Library, and the book of poetry Taking Time.
