Reflections of a Modern American Poet<\/span><\/i> offers a deeply personal and reflective journey through the life of Kenneth Scillieri. Born in 1949 to Irish and Italian immigrant parents, Scillieri grew up in Maywood, New Jersey, during the simplicity of the 1950s and the turbulence of the 1960s. His early life was shaped by strong values, cultural change, and a nation on the verge of transformation.<\/span><\/p>

From 1967 to 1991, Scillieri served in the U.S. military, from Vietnam to Desert Storm, experiencing both the hardships of war and the changing attitudes of a divided country.
