Andréa Rizzo Foundation Acknowledged in Book of Poetry

dream — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 17:04:17 +0000

Truisms- Mostly. Reflections on Life, Living, and Relationships by Cariappa Annaiah

The author is an eclectic artist and poet who supports the Andréa Rizzo Foundation, since he too believes in the role of laughter and dance as healers of hurt. Included in the book is a poem dedicated to Susan, Andréa, and the Foundation. The book is available on Amazon USA. To purchase, please click this link.

"These are short poems, mostly about the truisms of life and daily living. As reflected in the title of this book, not all are truisms, a few celebrate the moment or a person. I write a lot about relationships because I believe that the state of relationships, whether with spouse, kids, siblings, friends, and most definitely with oneself, determines the depth of personal happiness." - Cariappa Annaiah
