Poetry. Art. In PACKS SMALL PLAYS BIG, Phyllis Capello gives us exquisite, finely-crafted lyrical poems, polished and many-faceted as the finest jewels. These poems contain a woman's voice crying out from tenement windows and city streets. They both grieve for all that is lost to the passage of time and celebrate all that remains.--Maria Mazziotti Gillan PACKS SMALL PLAYS BIG packs a punch to the gut. Whether it's a feminist reclamation of myth and fable, an activist's prophetic cries of injustice, or the elusive compression of an attuned lyric poet, Capello offers measured solace and rousing intensity. Where else but with this poet's magic can bewitched urban landscapes of 'alarm jangles' and 'jabbering pizzicato' transform into redemptive homemade shrines--notwithstanding the 'patched potholes' and 'pedestrian plod.' The poems 'spark and hum' and the emotion catches our throats.--Peter Covino An exquisite redefinition of Time. The poet's meditation brings ancient sensibility to the urban landscape, Delos to the 'steel horizon, ' Athena to Avenue X. Through stars, dreams, shoelaces, women on the brink keening in tune with sirens, gears, brakes, the lurch of subways overhead, Capello burnishes an eternal lemniscate brimmed with passion.--Annie Rachele Lanzillotto

As in previous volumes, this collection of essays contributes to the fundamental mission of the Mediterranean Centre for InterculturalStudies—founded in 2012 and located in Erice—with the specific goal of creating a dialogue between those scholars whose intellectual work is dedicated to topics and themes related to any aspect of Mediterranean culture, in the broadest sense of theterm. This volume also underscores our desire—and dare we say, necessity—to make readily available the best of work that emanates from the Centre’s annual meetings.

Poetry. Fiction. Art. A book of lyric essays and prose poems seeking truth through fragments and spectrums.

Emanuel di Pasquale's poems should be read by every American . . . He excels at the short lyric, writes directly, and feels deeply . . . The reader is enriched by both his Sicilian and his American realizations in his life-enhancing lines. - Richard Eberhart[di Pasquale] writes out of strong experience, and by insisting on accuracy, he comes out both simple and surprising. He's never decorative: there is always something human happening, and his words are close to it. - Richard Wilbur
