Title

Io canto la vita e la morte! [I Sing of Life and Death!]. New York: Il Carroccio Publishing Co., Inc., 1923.

Description

Inscribed by author "To my kinsman - Anthony Barraco with best wishes for a successful future in his chosen career. Sincerely, Rosario Ingargiola, Dec. 28, 1947." Some of the poetry was composed in standard Italian, and some in dialect.

Ingargiola (b. Marsala, 1898) emigrated at the age of 8 to Brooklyn, where he took his degree in law and practiced law. He was an "estimable figure" in the Italian American literary community, according to Durante, as well as a lawyer, writing prefaces to works by Pallavicini and Callichiu Pucciu, q.v. His politics were decidedly on the right, and he was attacked by Tresca for his views, especially in that he was an "ex-subversive." He was also head of the Ordine Indipendente Figli d'Italia. Tresca called him a "fascist, a rascal of the worst kind." In 1923-24 he was editor of and then contributor of critical literary articles to the Corriere d'America and other newspapers.
