Beautiful Italy
her fertility on show
vineyards, olive groves
virgins galore
…
not only fruits
ripe for the picking
every womb
a-waiting a seed
…
those pretty girls
in terracotta villas
knew their day would come
every womb forced to bear
…

Dedicated to my great grandmothers: Annunziata Giustina Fabbrucci Frandi and Raffaela Marisi Mansi Greco (Grego)
During research into my Italian family tree I met Italian genealogists and historians who believed that the two great Italian mass migrations were mistakes that left Italy the poorer.

So glad you like them Rita. My paintings and poems complement the stories in my book ‘Whatever Happened To Ishtar?’ as you’ve probably already guessed. xx

Thank you, Bonnie. I hope to get a book published soon of my paintings and poems that support the stories in my published book ‘Whatever Happened To Ishtar?’ to pass down to my grandchildren and great grandchildren. It is an indulgence really but a project I am enjoying to the full.
