William Bernhardt

Latest Release

The Florentine Poet

Why are the churches closed on Christmas Eve in Florence’s San Frediano district? And why has no one heard of the greatest poet who ever lived? This mystery perplexes an acclaimed American poet who journeys to the fabled city seeking inspiration. The proprietor of his hotel, raconteur Alberto Giannotti, reveals that it has nothing to do with the holiday—and everything to do with poetry.

“In this engaging tale, our poet-protagonist sets out on a hero’s journey. Pietro’s passion for his angelic Sophia mirrors the author’s love affair with the written word. Whether or not poetry is your thing, this book sparkles like a jewel in a cosmic clockwork — an uplifting gift to readers everywhere.” 

—Dan Millman, author of Way of the Peaceful Warrior
