Poetry. Emanuel di Pasquale's SELF- PORTRAIT offers a collection of small but powerful poems that present a world where the poet, the poem and thus the reader wrestle with the human connection with nature--our forming mother. These poems explore inner passions and how such passions help us understand the nature of nature, the nature of things, and ultimately the nature of ourselves.
Poetry. Italian American Studies. This is Emanuel di Pasquale's latest collection of poetry. His previous work has been praised by the likes of X.J. Kennedy, Richard Wilbur, Dana Gioia, and Grace Cavalieri. In this collection di Pasquale continues to offer his reader wonderfully crafted poetry that is both wistful and emotive.Praise for di Pasquale's previous work: "Emanuel di Pasquale's HARVEST is a collection of poetry that observes the landscape, both physical and psychological, of the New York / New Jersey region. Prof. di Pasquale immigrated to the United States as a teenager and has devoted a career to the literature of his adopted nation as well as his maternal country. The work is quintessentially American, whether he describes a landscape in suburban New Jersey or a poetry reading at the foot of New York City's Public Library. And yet, there is a hint of memory of the old country, a phrase, no doubt spoken with a sign that brings Southern Europe to Monmouth Beach ... a work of superb poetry with imagery so crisp it could be used in a text book. More importantly, it is a testament of what was brought to this country over the last 150 years that resonates in our culture from the plaque on the Statue of Liberty to the slap of the waves on the California coast."--Ed Bennett
Poetry. Bilingual poems in Italian and English. Illustrations by Rocco Cafiso. "Emanuel di Pasquale's poems should be read by every American ... He excels at the short lyric, writes directly, and feels deeply ... The reader is enriched by both his Sicilian and his American realizations in his life-enhancing lines"--Richard Eberhart. " di Pasquale] writes out of strong experience, and by insisting on accuracy, he comes out both simple and surprising. He's never decorative: there is always something human happening, and his words are close to it"--Richard Wilbur.
Poetry. "Emanuel di Pasquale writes with reverence and wonder, like some Adam first laying eyes on beast and tree, bestowing names upon them...I find di Pasquale an astonishing and delightful poet, a visionary miraculously set down in New Jersey, and a true original" -- X.J. Kennedy.
