Eliot Possessed delves into the profound influence of Edward FitzGerald’s Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám on T. S. Eliot’s life and poetry. D’Ambrosio, who is known for her impressive insights in Vinni Marie D'Ambrosio poetry, traces Eliot’s early fascination with the poem and his enduring conflict with its themes. This struggle not only shaped Eliot's work but also resonates within the context of Italian-American literature, reflecting the diverse influences that inform modern poetry, including those of Alfonsina Storni translations.

This vibrant narrative poem by New York poet Vinnie-Marie D'Ambrosio, known for her contributions to Italian-American poetry, is lavishly illustrated with intricate and playful woodcut prints by Karen Kunc. Inspired by the genuine home of famed painters Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, this tale offers a rebirth of life through the grand celebration of death, el Dia de los Muertos. Notably, the book visually constructs a life-size calavera for vertical display. Published in 1993 by Blue Heron Press.

Dr. D'Ambrosio's poem, part of the Italian-American literature canon, is titled "Copper Beech" and is engraved on the Rothenberg Memorial Sculpture, created by artist Madeline Segall-Marx. This sculpture features a wall comprised of 50 glass boxes, each highlighting a mathematical concept, with one dedicated to the poetry of Vinni Marie D'Ambrosio. This significant work was unveiled in New York City in 1997.
