Tribute to Rosemary Cappello

Poet, Writer, Watercolorist, Editor of “Philadelphia Poets“

Rosemary Cappello is a poet, painter, prose writer, community organizer, and editor whose work has appeared in such venues as Voices in Italian Americana, Poet Lore, Iconoclast, Avanti Popolo, Sweet Lemons 2, Schuylkill Valley Journal, Poetry Ink, and Autumn Sky, to name a few. She is the author of Wonderful Disaster, The Habit of Wishing (with Ann Menebroker and Joan Jobe Smith); The Sid Poems; and San Paride, named for the patron saint of Teano, Italy, her father, John Petracca’s native town.

“I am passionate about many things. Poetry heads the list, and I’ve spent a large portion of my life reading poetry, writing it, and presenting it to the public. However, it’s not just my own poetry that I promote, but that of many, many others. I am passionate about editing and put a great deal of thought into the publication of “Philadelphia Poets”: reading submissions, making decisions as to which poems merit publication and which poems do not. Approximately sixty poets are published in each issue of “Philadelphia Poets.”
