About the book 'MILESTONES:a development'is a collection of sensitive observations written in poetic form about family life in all its aspects, from the nature of combining an Italian heritage with an equally rich Englishness to the joy of parenthood and the sorrow of losing a parent. The poet draws upon experiences in his medical training that have sought a voice of catharsis.Interspersed with fine drawings and photographs the book creates a spirited if at times thought provoking reaction to a whole host of issues that sometimes impinge upon the human condition.
