Hosted by Yanique bird featuring Rosa Veltri reading her story: |
tonight's writer and story Rosa Veltri was born in Toronto in 1976, the youngest of three and the only daughter. Veltri’s parents, both born in Italy, married before coming to Canada in 1971. Her father worked at a Ford plant, and her mother worked at a steel factory. Veltri grew up in Mississauga. She graduated from the University of Toronto in 1999 and currently teaches with the Toronto district school board. Veltri is married and has a two year old daughter who loves to play with "Giusepina Florentina." Tonight we will play part one of Veltri's “Guiseppina Florentina,” a story that takes us into the mind of Lucia, a young girl, who struggles to fit into middle-class, suburban Mississauga while she tries to come to grips with the patriarchal norms and old world values of her family life. Veltri writes in a direct, unadorned prose style without comment or melodrama. She lets the characters’ actions and words reveal themselves. Stay tuned next week for the conclusion of "Guiseppina Florentina." |
