Viking Press [Published 1976]. Hard Cover, 189 Pp. First Edition. [From Jacket Flaps] To Ramify Is To Cause To Branch, To Separate Into Divisions. All Families Are Ramified, Some More Elaborately Than Others. Robert Canzoneri'S Family Tree Is Forked, Bifurcated, With One Root System Set Deep In The Soil Of Mississippi, And The Other Even Deeper In Sicily. He Was Born And Raised In Mississippi, Surrounded By His Mother'S Relatives, Members Of The Barnett Clan, Who Were Active In State Polities. He Was Only Remotely Aware Of His Other His Father'S, In Faroff Sicily. When His Father Reached His Eightythird Year, Robert Took Him On A Trip Back To Palazzo Adriano, The Village The Father Had Not Seen Since He Had Left In 1903 To Come To America. This Book Was Precipitated By That Visit, And It Is A Warm And Loving Account Of The Younger Canzoneri'S Encounter With His Sicilian Relatives. He Plunges Into The World Of His Antecedents In An Effort To Understand Himself, And He Is Rewarded. The Book Begins With An Account Of The Sicilian Relatives He Knew In America And Ends With A Portrait Of His Father Near The End Of A Long And Purposeful Life....It Is A Book That Will Speak To Everyone Who Has Ever Wondered What His Family Was Before It Came To America Or Where His Roots Are Buried. As Malcolm Cowley Says, 'The Warmth Of The Sicilian Family Casts A Firelight Glow Over The Pages. . . . The Writing Is Consistently Good And The Book Is As Charming As Anything I Have Read For A Long Time.' Robert Canzoneri S A Poet, Playwright, Novelist, And Shortstory Writer Who Teaches English And Writing At Ohio State University.
