About the Author:


Cesare F. Rosati was born in Italy in 1946 and immigrated to the U.S. at the age of nine. A graduate of West Point (Class of 1970), he served in the U.S. Army for seven years obtaining a graduate degree in electronics from Stanford University during his service. In 1995 he retired after a career with the US Department of State, where he served as the Head of a US Delegation engaged in classified international negotiations.

In the late 1990s, after nearly forty years of writing poetry, Mr. Rosati turned to novels. Prairie Dogs PPL, first of a five-book series he has planned, was published in 2005 and followed recently by Adriana (SV-1). Readers eagerly await continuation of the Brock family’s ‘near-future’ ventures into outer space and global politics.


However, success with novels has not diminished his love of poetry. In Love & Life, he takes an uncommon perspective on the poetic form. Using animate and inanimate objects to impart his particular brand of advice, the author offers a welcome comic flair to, often confused, teenage boys as they explore the two topics noted in the title - love and life.
