Poetry. Bilingual Edition. Translated from the English into Italian
by Elisa Biagini. Winner of the Bordighera Poetry Prize. "What
draws me to Gerry LaFemina's poems is how much of the world they
contain: Brooklyn streets, race-tracks, Vietnam, a boy's imagined
transgressions, family dramas. What is compelling is the tension
between the speaker's urge to understand and the mystery that
resists explanation--the partial understandings, the
misunderstandings of childhood.... Public and private collide,
intersect, as events and images become more difficult to reconcile,
to describe. LaFemina's poems ripple with erotic desire, the
budding sexuality of young boys, the lure of the nape hidden under
a woman's hair, the interiority of the boy who'd slid into the
sleeve of the dark suit left by his father. It's a rich world...a
gritty and tender gamble"--Donna Masini.
