New York critic R. Rabinowitz called this lyrical novel of misplaced desire and ambition, thwarted passion, and enduring love, “Beautiful, wondrous, and wise.” Coleman, who lived on a small Italian island for almost a year, an island that could have been one of Homer’s mythic places, has woven family legend into a story of tragedy, triumph, and the healing power of art and music. Hollywood agent Bettye McCartt has called “The Italian Quartet”…”A classic that will still be in print in two hundred and fifty years,” and film-maker and producer Ismail Merchant captivated by Coleman’s depiction of island life contrasted with the magical allure of Venice had it in his sights for another of his enchanting productions at the time of his death.. “The Italian Quartet” weaves a never-to-be-forgotten spell.

Here is a magnificent human drama based on the memories of one who lived it, filled with facts history books omitted. Orphaned at an early age, Allie and her brothers and sisters were parceled out to foster families. She eventually moved in with her married sister, who was operating a boarding house. It was there that Allie met Virgil Earp who was working for a stage line. They were married without benefit of clergy and so began a life of itinerant wandering where all roads seeming to lead to Tombstone. In this vivid account, all the political intrigue and moral ambiguities of that time and place are brought dramatically to life, including the stark and brutal events of lawlessness and law enforcement that culminated at the OK Corral.  Jane Candia Coleman lives in Tucson, Arizona.

"This collection of poetry celebrates the life of the Jesuit missionary Eusebio Kino, who arrived in New Spain in 1681 and who founded the San Xavier del Bac Mission near Tucson. The poet tells Father Kinos story from his own perspective from his beginnings in Italy (1645) until his death in 1711. The collection is a bilingual edition with facing-page Spanish translation of the original English poems"--
