Down a Cobblestone Lane Kathleen Panettieri

Take a walk with Kathleen Panettieri Down a Cobblestone Lane. It is the journey of a lifetime; you will meet her ancestors and find out how her immigrant parents - one Greek, one Irish - shaped their future in Australia. In giving tribute to her heritage, Kathleen steps onto the path with intention, ready to embrace life to the full, providing ample subject matter for the 134 poems in this, her second book. There is much love in these lines, mixed with strength, courage and wisdom; there are struggles and triumphs, losses and affirmations. Following cancer treatment in 2016, writing these poems provided comfort and a useful distraction; now, cancer-free, they are tangible proof that Kathleen continues to live her motto: 'Life is for celebrating.' Yes, this is a book of poems, but it is also a multi-faceted story that will be loved by poetry lovers and all who love a great narrative.
