THE BOOK OF APPASSIONATA: COLLECTED POEMS de David Citino

THE BOOK OF APPASSIONATA: COLLECTED POEMS

Autor David Citino
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mai 1998
Sister Mary Appassionata has been talking herself into David Citino's poetry collections for many years. Charming when she wants to be, pushy by nature and by vocation, determined to say what she has to say, Sister Mary has evolved into a recognized literary personality, very popular with readers of Citino's poetry. She has now persuaded both poet and press that she is ready for her own breakthrough book, arguing that everything she has said in the past is still true and that she also has important new observations to make. The Book of Appassionata presents Sister Mary's new poems and brings together in one volume all her poems from Citino's previous collections.

Recenzii

"Ever since reading the Appassionata Doctrines I've looked for­ward to David Citino to give me poems I really want to read. He can be funny, passionate, lyri­cal, and not infrequently wise as well. Often (which is excep­tional) he can be all of these things at once."
—Denise Levertov
"The Book of Appassionata is con­sistently ambitious, wide-rang­ing, intelligent, engaging, and surprising, teasing (sometimes taunting, seducing, lecturing, cajoling) the reader into thought, and moving him or her to admi­ration, laughter, and sadness. . . . Sister Mary is a voice that can incorporate all manner of wit and wisdom; she is seemingly inexhaustible, and once you have come under her spell you don't forget her."
—Ronald Wallace, author of Time's Fancy
"David Citino is a much better than average poet, possibly a great one. What stands out in his Appassionata poems—aside from their beauty—is their learned­ness and their humor."
—Jonathan Holden, author of Guns and Boyhood in America: A Memoir of Growing Up in the 50s
