If poetry is not your "thing," this book will change your mind. C. S. Lewis wrote, "We ought not write about our actions but about our thoughts. We busy ourselves talking about the weather and the little trivial happenings of each day, while the thoughts of our hearts, the really great experiences of ourselves, are seldom mentioned."Approaching the end of a long and fulfilling life, an aging Baby Boomer publishes his first book - a collection of poems originally written for his grandchildren and never intended to be made public.* Writing in verse, the author reminisces about the joys of family, friends, nature, and living a simple but rewarding life. Opening with a nostalgic reverence for our ancestral beginnings and hope for future generations, "A Grandparent's Message" sets the stage for a wide-ranging series of poems that will take you for a ride along life's emotional roller coaster. * Thirteen years ago the author's niece suffered a severe spinal cord injury at the age of 27, and has been confined to a wheelchair since then. Prior to the injury, she was an avid outdoor adventurer, enjoying mountain climbing, hiking, biking and camping.Following two unsuccessful years of complete bed rest to heal lower body pressure wounds, she spent four months at Maine Medical Center in 2020 for reconstructive surgery.All proceeds from the sale of Precious Were The Hours, will go toward the purchase of a standing wheelchair for Rebecca to help reduce the risks of future pressure wounds.

Recepient, 2013 Guggenheim Fellowship Dante’s Vita Nova (circa 1292–1295) depicts the joys and sorrows, the discoveries and conflicts of Dante’s early love for Beatrice—who would achieve later and even greater fame in Commedia—starting with his first sighting of her and culminating in his prevision of Beatrice among the beatified in heaven. Award-winning translator and poet Andrew Frisardi channels the vigor and nuance of Dante’s first masterpiece for a modern audience. The “little book,” as Dante calls it, consists of thirty-one lyric poems—mostly sonnets—embedded in a prose narrative, which both recounts an apparently autobiographical set of events also evoked in the poems and offers analysis of the poems’ construction in the medieval critical tradition of divisio textus, or division of the text. Dante selected poetry he had written before age twenty-eight or so and wrote the prose to shape it into a story. The poems anthologize Dante’s growth as a poet, from the influence of his earliest mentors to the stylistic and thematic breakthroughs of his poetic coming-of-age. The interplay of poetry and prose in Vita Nova, along with the further distinction in the latter between autobiography and critical divisioni, presents a particular challenge for any translator. Frisardi faithfully voices the complex meter and rhyme schemes of the poetry while capturing the tone of each of the prose styles. His introduction and in-depth annotations provide additional context for the twenty-first-century reader.
