In this episode, we meet author Gilda Morina Syverson, a poet, memorist, and as she says, a member of a large Italian-American family from upstate New York that grows exponentially each year.   This Italian-American family has its roots in Sicily, which led to Gilda’s quest to learn more about her past and to her award-winning memoir: My Father’s Daughter: From Rome to Sicily.   Gilda reads from the memoir and discusses the culture and norms of the old country. It’s a trip well worth taking.   She also reads two poems and in the spirit of Valentine’s Day, she reads a piece called “Racing &amp; Wives &amp; Valentines,” which is sure to generate a laugh or two.   We start first with her poem, A Sicilian Dream, published in Main Street Rag.   You can connect with the podcast at: www.charlottereaderspodcast.com
