This historic collection, the first of its kind, is devoted to the discussion of Italian-Canadian writers publishing in English, in French or in Italian. These critical essays include analyses of some important writing: F.G. Paci's Black Madonna, the poetry of Mary di Michele and Pier Giorgio Di Cicco, the plays of Marco Micone, Gens du Silence and Addolorata, the novels of Maria Ardizzi and many other titles. The ten contributors make significant additions to the study of Canadian literature: D.C. Minni examines the short story; Alexandre Amprimoz and Sante Viselli consider Italian-Canadian poetry; Roberta Sciff-Zamaro analyses Black Madonna; Robert Billings fathoms di Michels's verse; Frank Paci considers the task of the novelist. Fulvio Caccia's essay on the literary languages of Quebec is controversial as are Filippo Salvatore's arguments on the writer and politics. Antonio D'Alfonso speculates on future developmetns among the more than one hundred Italian-Canadian writers.In addition to editing the collection, Joseph Pivato introduces the volume with a long essay on ethnic history and literary criticism in Canada, includes another essay on Italian-language writers and concludes with a detailed bibliography and an index.

Talking It Out: The October Crisis from Inside (Prose Series) (English and French Edition)

Simard, Francis

Reference

<p>In October 1970, Canada experienced incredible social turmoil. What political restlessness that had been keeping Quebec on its toes finally exploded. Terrorist groups of young men and women, known as Front de liberation du Quebec (FLQ) decided to go down to the streets and attempted to bring about what had been for so long desired in many French-Canadian homes: Quebec's separation. Written in a compelling, personal style, "Talking It Out" is an inside account of one of the FLQ cells which kidnapped Pierre Laporte in October 1970, and the events as they unfolded from the perspective of the four men involved. This is a must for any person interested in the political analysis of society.</p>

Quartz And Mica (Essential Poets Series 34)

Villemaire, Yolande

<p>Conceived as a quasi-opera, evocative of the passionate intensity of Italian operatic characters, this is not so much an 'Italian play' as a play of prisons and prisoners, frustrated human needs and passions, and dreams of home (4 men, 2 women, 1 boy).</p>

Poetry. "There is always distance in language. Readers and writers move in this distance, between the innumerable points that define their positions. The poems of NOMADIC TRAJECTORY are but notations of absence and displacement. A nomad reads the landscape s/he travels, considering all the changes that may have taken place since the last passage. Language unveils its possibilities seductively, all that is needed is the first step toward it. Travelers in the world thus become travelers between worlds" -Pasquale Verdicchio.
