Journey to the Light

Carmeline was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. She spent the ¿rst part of her life in theatre, working professionally as a theatrical lighting designer and stage manager. Marriage and raising a family of three boys and a girl led her to a new career as a songwriter and poet. Her ¿rst book of poetry Re¿ections on Myself was published in 1990; her second, TruthTeller (Xlibris) in 2000; and her third, Oneness in 2021. Like many poets, sensitive to the needs of humanity, Carmeline has been a social activist, environmentalist, and philanthropist for most of her life. To date, she is a Life member of the International New Th ought Alliance, and coordinator of its worldwide prayer ministry. In 2003, she received the prestigious Impresa Award from the Joint Civic Committee of Italian-Americans for her lifelong contribution of service to humanity and her career as a writer.The artwork found within Journey to the Light was designed by Carmeline's son, Charles Anthony Pusateri. It is with great pride that she shares his work as well.
