Poetry expressing passion, love, hope, and faith. The intense yet simple verses reach within the human spirit and hint at the greatness of the human heart. Tedesco's poetry is captivating because it emanates from his humanity as he grapples with questions at the core of human experience. In the rhythm of rhymes, simple and caressing like a tender folksong, Tedesco looks not for adjectives or metaphors but for the direct meaning of love. Love that embraces life in memories and the present moment, bursting forth into a longing for the other, a search for the Other.
