Since I was asked to write a blurb for this book, I figured I would post the entirety of my blurb here for your public consumption.

Italian Bones is a lyrical blend of free form poetry and essay-style memoir entries. Battista-Parsons' clever wording makes for vivid recreations of memories and food descriptions that make you hungry. Rich imagery teleports you from the kitchens of an Italian-American girl, to raw emotional explorations of beauty, love, and the difference between what we believe a woman should be and what a woman is. By the end of this memoir, I felt like I better knew the author, and better knew myself, as reading this reminded me of periods of my life as an Italian-American bambina. A must read to accompany bread and mozzarella Saturdays.
