A love letter to the lives, loves, losses, and other mysteries that lay at the heart of our history.Angela Alaimo ODonnell, grandchild of Italian immigrants, granddaughter of coal miners, and author of twelve published poetry collections and thousands of poems, offers her most personal collection to date. These are poems that speak to people, for all of us come from somewheresome world we have necessarily left behind but that still lives within us and makes us who we are.This book is for lovers of stories, told through artful poems and vivid prose, as it invites us all to reflect, laugh, smile, shed a tear, re-live, and perhaps even make sense of our own childhood experiences. Dip into it while sitting by the fire or gathered with friends and family in a shared celebration of our personal histories and the bonds that connect us to one another."The childhood belonging to each of us is unique, as is each human beingyet there are some things that remain constant. We all have a mother and father, and, if we are lucky, sisters and brothers. We all have a place that we come from that has helped shape us into who we are. We all have memories that stay with us, bring us joy, and haunt us, and we all face the daily decision of what to do with those memoriesto preserve them or to let them fade. My vocation, as a poet, compels me to turn them into story and song. These poems tell my stories, and I also hope they, in some way, tell yours." -Angela Alaimo ODonnell

When I think of Sylvia Plath, I am in awe of her intelligence, her language, her wit, her consonantal music - her sheer gift, and what must have been her drive, as its guardian, possessor, possessee, to realise it. Sharon OldsThe Poems of Sylvia Plath is a landmark publication: the definitive edition of the poets work for scholars, students and general readers. Sylvia Plaths first Collected Poems was published in 1981. This new volume draws on decades of research and almost doubles the content of that edition. The book is in two parts: the first contains the poems Plath composed in the last ten years of her life and upon which her reputation is founded, and the second includes those poems written in childhood and through her student years. In both sections, the editors have dated, corrected and arranged each poem chronologically, drawing on manuscripts, typescripts and related archival material. Critical notes document and cast new light on Plaths extraordinary evolution as a poet, from her childhood compositions, through the early blossoming of her talent and ambition, and into the molten core that was to shape the poems of her last few years, securing her place in literary history.

Un anno imprecisato. Una citta qualunque. Una squadra viola che, contro ogni previsione, sta riscrivendo la propria storia. Poi, un corpo in un albergo. Amina. Da quel momento, tutto cambia. Le indagini, affidate a "Colonnello" uomo senza nome, come molti in questa vicenda si muovono in un territorio ambiguo, dove il confine tra verita e convenienza si fa sempre piu sottile. Un sospettato, unombra nelle immagini, e infine lui: il Campione, idolo della citta, simbolo di un sogno collettivo che nessuno e disposto a mettere in discussione. Ma quanto vale una vittoria? E cosa si e disposti a sacrificare per difenderla?Tra pressioni invisibili, silenzi imposti e verita manipolate, la giustizia si piega mentre la folla esulta. Solo anni dopo, lontano da tutto, nel silenzio del deserto, emergera cio che davvero si nasconde dietro quellomicidio. Un noir teso e potente, dove il calcio e solo la superficie di una storia piu oscura, fatta di potere, identita e segreti impossibili da seppellire.

Em Claudia Vera Feliz Natal, Mariana Salomo Carrara confirma a singularidade de um projeto literario que se reinventa a cada obra.Com arquitetura narrativa ousada e dominio cada vez mais surpreendente da linguagem, a autora transforma o universo juridico em materia de ficço de alta voltagem e escancara o desconcerto comico de quem acredita que a lei pode dar forma ao mundo apenas para descobrir que o mundo insiste em escapar.
