Orazio, a retired curriculum coordinator, teacher, and coach of twenty-seven years, has completed his new book "I Never Knew We Were Poor": a journey of streaming consciousness backward and forward between the man he is today, and the path that lead him to writing his book.

"Many people can empathize with the deplorable conditions described in the book," Orazio said when asked to comment on the new release. "But only those who have experienced them can truly understand."
