"Modeled after Dante's 'La Vita Nuova', Petrarch's 'Canzoniere', and Spenser's 'Amoretti', 'A New Life with Bianca' chronicles a young man's passion for a widow his age, from their first encounter in a café and initial courtship, to their shot-gun wedding and comfortable domesticity, to her untimely death from breast cancer. At every stage of their relation-ship, the speaker-an Italian American, latter-day bohemian who reads poetry, watches indie films and frequents the MoMA-tries to express and interpret his feelings through the medium of culture. The gap between art and experience, however, proves too wide." -Anthony Di Renzo

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Poetry. Trilingual Edition. Translated from the original English into the Italian by Chiara Curtoni, and into the Sicilian by Nino Provenzano. With engravings by Michael McCurdy. 'Truly an homage to the sonnet form of the Sicilian School, the nine poems in A NEW LIFE WITH BIANCA are vibrant with contemporary clarity of word and thought; yet, the sonnets embrace the poetic form of Iacopo da Lentini, an innovative poet of another era. This trilingual work is a gift of life and yearnings well expressed and clearly up-to-date, yet enveloped in long standing literary tradition. For a reader who loves the richness and expressive possibilities of the English language, the musicality of Italian in the translations by Dr. Chiara Curtoni added pleasure, and the Sicilian versions by Nino Provenzano went straight to the heart.'--Giovanna Bellia La Marca 'Frank Polizzi's sonnet series is a discourse among three cultures. He honors the history of the sonnet form by having his original English text translated into Sicilian and Italian. Polizzi has cleverly distilled the history of the sonnet into a voice that speaks simultaneously in three languages: the original medieval Sicilian sonneteer, the Dante of La Vita Nuova, and the modern descendent of this still living and evolving form. Polizzi's sonnets mirror the tradition they succinctly annotate, from Platonic love and erotic sex to betrayal, loss, and death. In the end, Polizzi's Bianca is as unattainable as Dante's Beatrice. Thoughtful as well as inspired, Polizzi has added yet another dimension to the tradition of the sonnet.'--Ken Scambray 'As if love itself decided it could not to be conveyed in only one language, Frank Polizzi follows its lead and puts forth a poignant multilingual collection of nine love sonnets in A NEW LIFE WITH BIANCA.
