Empyrean Series No.44 - The Italian American poet Pascal D'Angelo (Jan. 19, 1894 - Mar. 13, 1932) was born and came of age in the village of Introdaqua, eighty miles east of Rome in the Abruzi region of central Italy. In April 1910 D'Angelo emigrated with his father to the United States. He spent the next eight years working in rail yards and in road-building crews in the northeast and beyond. In 1919 he settled in New York City and began writing poetry while living in conditions of stark poverty. Between 1922 and 1925, D'Angelo published about two dozen poems in magazines and newspapers. This is the first volume to make available the entirety of his poetry, including four poems published posthumously in The Brooklyn Eagle in 1932. 39 p.
