BIOGRAPHY
Nat Scammacca was born in Brooklyn in 1924. He received his B.A. in 1ite­rature and philosophy from Long Island University and his M.A. in educa­tion from New York University. During World War II, he and his twin brother, Saverio, were commis­sioned officers in the United States Army Air Force, serving as pilots aver the Himalayas in the India-Burma-China theatre. Their many drop missions ofvital supplies, troops, and intelligence personnel earned them a number of medals, including the Air Medal and the Bronze Star. Following the war, Nat traveled to Europe with briefresidences in Paris and Barcellona and eventually decided to seek out his origins in Italy; there he studied Italian at the University of Perugia and was graduated. After­wards, he returned to N ew York far a brief period, earning his living as a so­ci al worker far the Italian Board ofGuardians. He then went back to Sicily to stay.Deeply affected by the disparities oflife in the land ofhis forefathers, Nat with other Sicilian poets conceived of the Antigruppo -a group against groups, against the fascisti, the mafia, the privileged establishment which in his view collaborates to suppress the common man and his essential creative force. Now, as editor ofthe voice ofthe Antigruppo, the "Third Page" ofthe re­gional weekly newspaper "Trapani Nuova", he is the acknowledged leader of the movement, and has been responsible far generating a remarkable series ofpopulist poetry events and publishing milestones, expressions ofthe liter­ary-artistic magnificence that survives and is nurtured in the three-pointed isle aver which the Scirocco alone has maintained continuous sway. He lived in Trapani with his wife, and their two children, Glenn and Arleen, and grandchildren, Elena and Nadir. He is currently retired from his position as professar of English at the British College in Palermo and now enjoys doing nothing.
