Download or read book Baudelaire and the Making of Italian Modernity written by Alessandro Cabiati and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-03-24 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book establishes the role of French writer Charles Baudelaire in the formation of paradigms of modernity in Italian poetry between 1857, the year of publication of Baudelaire’s highly influential collection Les Fleurs du Mal, and 1912, when the first anthology of Futurist poetry, I poeti futuristi, was published in Milan. It focuses primarily on Baudelaire’s influence on the poetry of the Scapigliatura, a long-underrated movement which in the 1860s introduced a thematic and formal modernity into Italian literature, paving the way for Futurism and the twentieth-century avant-garde. This monograph also investigates Baudelaire’s and the Scapigliatura’s interrelated impacts on early Futurist poetry, demonstrating that Futurist poets turned to the works of Baudelaire and the Scapigliatura for inspiration on themes that were considered as distinctly unpoetic – and therefore modern – such as medical-anatomical examination, technological transformation, and abnormal sensuality.
Download or read book Daughters Dads and the Path Through Grief written by Donna DiCello, Psy.D. and published by Impact Publishers. This book was released on 2014-12-15 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Losing a father can be absolutely wrenching. This insightful guide tells the story of the strong connections between daughters and dads throughout life, and the consequential grief and loss a daughter feels when her father dies. Stories from 50 women offer glimpses into the many aspects of father/daughter relationships that are warm and nurturing, sometimes complicated and conflicted, and always solid and enduring. The Italian American women interviewed ultimately find great peace and meaning in the on-going relationship with their fathers, even after death. Using these women’s stories, the readers are presented a multi-faceted discussion filled with amusement, complexity and intensity, struggle and resistance, and above all, remarkably powerful family bonds. The daughters’ reactions to the passing of their fathers display the strength of relationships built over many years, as well as the spiritual and emotional framework that shapes the lives of many Italian American women today.
Download or read book Low Italian written by George Guida and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Goerge Guida's first collection of poems, LOW ITALIAN, shows that he "...is a comic genius who is writing some of the funniest, most successfully satiric poems about Italian American behavior and culture, and by extension, ethnicity in general. His work has the self-assurance of a master: his voice can be assertive, ironic, self-reflexive, harlequinesque, self-depricating, and noble, all the time remaining spontaneous, unified, and faithful to its own unique vision"--John Paul Russo, Co-Editor of the ITALIAN AMERICANA.

Download or read book Abysses written by Shpendi Sollaku Noé and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shpendi Sollaku Noé's poetry delves into meat, bone, and blood. He uses verses to pound on a stone to get at the truth; and he succeeds perfectly, coordinating style and synthesis. Before understanding, the reader feels. He sees himself in a forest without trees, praising the trees that are not there anymore, but through the force of the poetry, for a moment, the reader perceives the landscape as it was before the disappearance of the trees. Scenes, murals, puzzles that are fiction remind the reader of desolation, remorse, opaque hopes-"The empty apocalypse."

Book excerpt: "Toni Cade Bambara's One Sicilian Night is a brief and elegant story that recalls the first meeting of writer Anthony Valerio and one of the leading African-American writers on the way to a PEN writers' conference in Sicily. Toni Cade Bambara and Valerio have more in common with each other than they do with other writers from around the U.S., and so forged a friendhsip that's supportive, interesting and charmingly romantic. Part travelogue, part love story, "One Sicilian Night" is a rewarding read full of Sicilian and African-American flavors"--Fred L. Gardaphe, SUNY Stony Brook.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Ross Talarico's THE REPITLIAN INTERLUDES attempts to ask the sort of questions Milton and Dante posed, but replaces their gods with the gods of science and technology. Who are we? Why are we here? Where are we going as a species? In one long poem, Talarico takes a look at the species as we "evolve scientifically and devolve humanistically" [calling to question] the design between science and art"-Richard Anderson. Talarico "writes like a latter-day Wordworth, postulating in his prose a re-vision of poetry's purpose, and offering in [this book] his prelude"-H.L. Hix. Recipient of the Mina Shaughnessy Prize and the Lillian Dairchild Award, Ross Talarico is a writer of poetry, novels, personal essays, and more. He is a Langston Hughes poet/Scholar.

Download or read book Using Italian written by J. J. Kinder and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-07 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 2002 book is a guide to Italian usage for students who have already acquired the basics of the language and wish to extend their knowledge. Unlike conventional grammars, it gives special attention to those areas of vocabulary and grammar which cause most difficulty to English-speakers. Careful consideration is given throughout to questions of style, register, and politeness which are essential to achieving an appropriate level of formality or informality in writing and speech. It surveys the contemporary linguistic scene in Italy and gives ample space to the new varieties of Italian that are emerging in modern Italy. The influence of the dialects in shaping the development of Italian is also acknowledged. Clear, readable and easy to consult via its two indexes, this is an essential reference for learners seeking access to the finer nuances of the Italian language.
Download or read book Songbook written by Umberto Saba and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beautifully translated selection of poems by one of the greatest Italian poets of the twentieth century Umberto Saba's reputation in Italy and Europe has steadily grown since his death in 1957, and today he is positioned alongside Eugenio Montale and Giuseppe Ungaretti as one of the three most important Italian poets of the first half of the twentieth century. Until now, however, English-language readers have had access to only a few examples of this poet's work. This bilingual volume at last brings an extensive and exquisitely translated collection of Saba's poems to English-speaking readers. Both faithful and lyrical, George Hochfield's and Leonard Nathan's translations do justice to Saba's rigorous personal honesty and his profound awareness of the suffering that was for him coincident with life. An introductory essay, a translation of Saba's early manifesto, "What Remains for Poets to Do," and a chronology of his life situate his poetics within the larger context of twentieth-century letters. With its publication, this volume provides the English-speaking world with a momentous occasion to rethink not just Italian poetry but also the larger European modernist project.
