Remembering those you love. Top Story - August 2021.
These two poems memorialise two much loved family members, my grandmother - nonna - who lived an amazing and long life. Leaving Italy to arrive in Australia in the 1920s, she was one of 13 children. Surviving the privations of WWI and then separation from family she and her husband created a world of friends, family, and success in a new country. She was brave, kind, community-focused and incredibly hardworking and astute well into her 90s.
