My Father's Fish takes you on an autobiographical journey which sails energized by its current of authenticity. The author, Mimi Diana Aloia, allows you entrance into her world as a child, teenager and on; throughout a life lived both ordinarily as well as less ordinary. She establishes the ability to make the common place less so through her keen sensibilities expressed in both her poems and prose writings.

Leading you to places near and far Aloia engages the reader insight-fully, inspired by the natural lake environment where she resides. She then turns you about traveling aspects of her imagination and waves before you poetic panoramas hoping to awaken your traditions and spiritual inclinations.

Mimi's drawings are free spirited, articulate images in character with her writing. This brings one to conclude that there is an organic flow to the overall expression and presentation of her book as it relates to life.

Please come and enjoy an evening with us, celebrating this wonderful work and maybe sharing some stories of your own.
