Born in Italy and brought to Australia at just four years old, Vincenzo grew up between two cultures, carrying his Italian heritage with him while building a life in Australia. His journey has been shaped by family, adventure, heartbreak and resilience. After the death of his wife, Cheryl, in 2010, Vincenzo faced one of the most difficult chapters of his life — but his story did not end there. Through his memoir Scarred For Life: The Cry For Hope, Vincenzo shares an intimate true story of the experiences that shaped him, the scars life left behind and the strength it took to keep moving forward.

Austin Macauley Publishers
Autobiographies aren’t for everyone, but this one ticks all the boxes as a read that anyone can enjoy – if not for the life lived, then for his masterful writing. You can’t go wrong with it – Russo is local, he’s real, and there’s nothing like seeing Adelaide through someone else’s eyes.

“Being Vincent’s editor for this book was truly a special experience. Vincent’s words poured from him and his story was so moving on so many levels. Mainly, I am in awe of Vincent for his determination and good humour throughout his life, to carry on, challenge after challenge. He is an inspiration and his book will lift your spirits!”

POEMS

By Vincenzo Russo

Happy as Larry

Never wanting to remarry
………….
Pleased as Punch
No more wedding vows coming from this mouth
………….
Jumping for Joy
Once bitten, twice shy
…………
Over the Moon
Never again the groom
………….
High as a Kite
Now have seen the light
………….
On Cloud Nine
No longer having to wait in line
……………
Feeling alive
Now able to thrive
……………
In 7th Heaven
Never again allowing the heart to be taken
…………..
Tickled Pink
Life is too short to blink
…………..
On Top of the World
Finally, can fill the void and that is the end

While having time to spare

Took a moment to sit on a chair
Counted to ten
Then picked up a pen
Scribed a little ditty
Considered to be quite witty
It concerned a fish
Doing somersaults in a rounded dish
It was unusual to see such a sight
Since the creature does not normally seek the limelight
But on this occasion, there was a cat near by
Licking its lips and with a gleam in its eye
Coming closer, the cat had clear intent
This was one opportunity it would not regret
You see, a pussycat needs sustenance
A fish to eat, thus makes a lot of sense
Before the deed, however, could be done
A human appeared and saved the day
Managing to keep that hungry feline at bay
The lesson here is that house rules apply
Even animals are required to comply
Survival instincts needs to be suppressed
Self-discipline, hence, must be internalized
The moral to this story
Even if it is somewhat corny
Never let a cat dictate
Other wise the nearby fish will meet its fate

I and U are meant to be

For that is our divine destiny

Been apart for far too long

Human idleness is what went wrong

We will come together when the time is right

Regardless of whether it is day or night

There are forces that will try and keep us apart

They want power over a loving heart

Fear not if the page is temporarily lifeless and blank

For soon our timeless love will again be back on track

In time, a passing pen will pass this way

Stopping briefly to have its say

With a stroke it will give expression to our vowels

Renewing a love that knows no bounds

Then finally I and U will come together as a team

Snuggling tr(I-U) mphantely between r and m

The distance is long

A wandering urge, however, is strong

The spirit within has found its wings

To fly and see what the future brings

It is a journey that must be taken alone

To climb further than I have ever known

A winding stairwell that will lead me home

A place to freely roam

Material possessions have been left behind

Burdens upon an awakening mind

The load has been lightened

The bond to all things has been strengthened

Distance now covered

In so doing a new path has been created
