Throughout Italian Lesson, imagery transcends the gastronomic to the historic and sacred." -Alexandria Peary, New Hampshire State Poet Laureate "I have never been to Italy, and now I have. These poems have given me this country through lovers' heightened senses: a wild and synesthetic journey." -Marie Harris, New Hampshire State Poet Laureate Emerita "Velie picks her poetic grapes, with care and insight, in poems that must be savored verse by verse. Che vino perfetto! Cin cin!" -Ala Khaki, poet, author of Return
