Siciliana

Poetry. Bilingual poems in Italian and English. Illustrations by Rocco Cafiso. "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.
