A Space of Mine Own gathers intimate poems about home, family, memory, parenthood, loss, faith, and the quiet transitions that shape ordinary life. Moving from gardens, kitchens, children, and changing seasons to departures, grief, aging, and new beginnings, the collection finds meaning in familiar places and everyday encounters. With warmth, humor, tenderness, and an attentive eye for detail, these poems explore how the spaces we inhabit become repositories of love, identity, remembrance, and enduring human connection.

Michael “Mick” Sansone rose from the “School of Hard Knocks” in midtown St. Louis to become the CEO of a thriving family business.
