Dear Friends a Broadside in tribute to Corrado and Luciano
Robert Marra is a Toronto-born visual artist and registered psychotherapist. Marra's work is contemporary in method and walks the line between painting and sculpture. He has exhibited his work in Ontario, Vancouver, and central Italy (ceramics), and was the featured artist at the Italian Cultural Institute in June of 2023 during Italian Cultural Heritage Month.
Marra's art is included in public and private collections as well as in numerous books of poetry. He is the author of the long concrete poem The Word (Lyricalmyrical Press) and he co-authored The Emu Dialogues (Quattro Books).Family, firends and followers everywhere greive the loss of these wonderful poets and image makers who inpsired everyone within reach.
They are dearly missed.
Thank you to Roberto Marra for instigating this spectacular print edition, and to Deborah Barnett for committing the content, along with Roberto's signficant image, to fine print, limited edition production.
