Questa raccolta di poesie e di racconti popolari anonimi in dialetto molisano tracciano il percorso di due storie che, pur diversificate, si compenetrano e si completano a vicenda: la storia individuale dell' autore e la storia collettiva della società di un paese del Sud. Le immagini di un mondo apparentemente immobile e arcaico si alternano alle vicende di una realtà storica complessa e tormentata, nel cui magma vecchio e nuovo si scontrano e si fondono. This collection of poems and anonymous folktales in the Molisan dialect traces the unfolding of two stories which, although distinct, interweave and complete each other: the author's individual story and the story of a town in the South of Italy. The images of an apparently immobile and archaic world alternate with the events of a complex and tormented historical reality, in whose magma the new and the old clash and fuse.

Joseph Tusiani: Poet, Translator, Humanist. An International Homage pays tribute to a leading figure of Italian culture in the United States. Joseph Tusiani has been an active poet, translator, and humanist for the entire second half of the twentieth century. The scholars honor all aspects of Professor Tusiani's intellectual and cultural career: most especially his translations from the Italian and his own poetry in English, Italian, and Latin. This volume closes with the first-time publication of his play in verse If Gold Should Rust, introduced by poet and critic Felix Stefanile.
