He was a Franciscan tertiary, a scholar of the Classics, a friend to <em>Decameron</em> author Giovanni Boccaccio, and an immensely popular poet in his day. Despite his religious vows, he had two children out of wedlock, and is best known for sonnets professing intense love for a woman named Laura. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://www.ablemuse.com/v23/bio/francesco-petrarca--petrarch?s=f5b31424a5e82f405693836863377822">read more</a></p> https://www.ablemuse.com/v23/bio/francesco-petrarca--petrarch?s=f5b31424a5e82f405693836863377822#comments Bios 287 291 author bio francesco petrarca give my regards to italian lee harlin bahan petrarch poem poems poetry poetry translation translation v23 zappa Mon, 03 Jul 2017 22:53:59 +0000 Alex Pepple 1507 at https://www.ablemuse.com Lee Harlin Bahan https://www.ablemuse.com/v23/bio/lee-harlin-bahan?s=f5b31424a5e82f405693836863377822 <p>Lee Harlin Bahan earned her MFA at Indiana University-Bloomington.
