This is the third anthology of Italian Canadian writers organized and edited by Caroline Morgan Di Giovanni with support from Centro Scuola e Cultura Italiana, Toronto. The first Italian Canadian Voices in 1984 contained the first English language translation of Mario Duliani's Petawawa memoirs, other works in the post WWII era, plus some early work by writers who are now well known. The second edition of Italian Canadian Voices, in 2006, reprised the first and added new names to the growing list of Canadian writers with Italian heritage. This new volume,Bravo! collects stories, poems, and chapter selections from some of the many fine contemporary writers adding Mediterranean warmth to the Canadian literary scene.

Caroline Morgan Di Giovanni grew up in suburban Philadelphia and came to Toronto to study at St. Michael’s College, U of T. After graduate work in Boston, she returned to Canada in 1972, married Alberto Di Giovanni, and has since lived in Toronto as an active participant in the vibrant Italian Canadian community. She has edited two editions of the anthology Italian Canadian Voices (1984 and 2006). Her first book of poetry, Looking at Renaissance Paintings and Other Poems (2008), was published by Quattro Books.
