From his childhood in Sicily as a Catholic altar boy through his latter days as a Mormon "saint," Caldiero recalls in verse his emerging passion for performance and for the sensual liturgical marriage of physical space--the church or temple proper--with bodily space. This ritualized confluence of architectural structure, human bodies, images, movements, smells, and sounds affects him as much today as it did in the past. It is this memory of the religious ritual that keeps him striving for a poetic creation and richness that achieves a depth of symbolic meaning.
