    About this ebook

    Fearless is the favourite of my early poems, and it's only three lines long. A Day in the Sun, my final piece was my first ever structured poem written in my teens.

    Luca Quaradeghini

    An Aries born April 14 in England. Luca Quaradeghini is a second generation immigrant from Italian parents.Nonna Lucia and Nonno Ervio moved his mother to Australia after losing their home in the war.Nonno Nello and Nonna Gina moved to London where his father was born to the sound of the bow bells.London played a major role in his life. He reflects that the city caused most of his problems, but also it taught him the lessons he need to learn to survive in a world which, in his words, is getting increasingly confusing and hostile. He graduated from university and began to compile his poetry. His first poem was at sixteen and he later finished the rest of the book in his drug enduced self destruct phase.He hopes you enjoy reading this. He believes there are a lot of people who have felt or still feel these insecurities and inexorable pain described in his poetry daily, and if he has eased it for just one person his work here is done.
