Reading Sveva is awardwinning author Daphne Marlatts response to the life and paintings of Sveva Caetani, an Italian migr who grew up in Vernon, B.C.Daughter of an Italian prince, leftist, and scholar of Islam, Sveva grew up with the multilingual and highly cultured European traditions of her parents who moved to Vernon in 1921, when Fascism was on the rise in Italy. At age eighteen, after her fathers death in 1939, Sveva was forced into homeseclusion for twentyfive years with her grieving mother. When her mother died, she entered the community of Vernon and flourished as a high school teacher and respected painter. Her life experiences took the form of an extensive series of drybrush paintings modelled on the structure of Dantes Divine Comedy, as well as poems and philosophical commentary.Marlatts lasting interest in the lives of immigrants to the West Coast continues in Reading Sveva, a thoughtful collection of ekphrastic and lyric poems that respond to Svevas insular life, the late beginnings of her artistic grown in 1960, and the meaning of home.Bringing her own perspective as an immigrant and as a woman, Marlatt illuminates the life of this forgotten female artist whose work is a testament to the struggle of the female artist, and the search for a sense of belonging.
