The reviews are coming in.

‘Nobody looks at her anymore.’  This line jumps from the page of Contemporary Sicilian Poetry, Italica Press’ new bilingual anthology of poetry from the island.  It refers to the moon, that much used poetical metaphor, but it seems to stand for poetry as a whole, the genre and the concept. ...

We remember Italica Press collaborator and friend, Helen Barolini, author of the groundbreaking Aldus and His Dreambook (1992) and contributor to New Italian Women (1989).

As a novelist, a poet and an editor, she sought to illuminate rarely told stories of her immigrant female forebears in a new land.

Italica Press is pleased to announce the publication of a new dual-language edition of Giovanni Pascoli’s Convivial Poems, translated by Elena Borelli and James Ackhurst.
Giovanni Pascoli (1855–1912) is renowned as one of the founders of modern Italian poetry. Embodying the Zeitgeist of fin-de-siècle Italy, his works are inspired by French Symbolism and Decadentism. They also draw on the classical tradition so alive in Italian culture. His unique poetic voice is filled with traditional metrical forms, an uncanny use of onomatopoeic language, and a multilingual vocabulary. He fills his depiction of nature with haunting images and a disquieting sensitivity.

Just published, “A Conspiracy of Talkers” by Gaetano Savatteri, translated from the Italian by Steve Eaton.

Sicily at the end of World War II, a mystery that is not a mystery, a crime that is a crime, but not the one you think it is:

The mayor died shortly before 9 p.m. Killed by a small caliber
projectile, he was a blotch in the miserly light
leaking out of the Cacioppo Café. Sprawling face down,
his light-colored raincoat spattered with blood, his arms
still outstretched as if to break his last fall. An empty circle
in the crowd marked his presence in the middle of the
narrow piazza.
