Emilio DeGrazia is a first-generation Italian-American who grew up just this side of the "wrong side" of Detroit. On the opposite side of DeGrazia's childhood street, he described, was "a land of no return." His side led him to decent schools and prolific career as a writer of prose and poetry. On Tuesday, January 5, DeGrazia will share some of that work.

DeGrazia will give a reading of his work at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, January 5, at the Book Shelf, 162 West Second Street. The event is part of the Winona Fine Arts Commission's Laureate Writers Series. It is free and open to the public.
