Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Following The Oswego Fugues and Communion of Asiago, Stephen Murabito consummates his trilogy for a former time and place: the 1960s and the West Eighth Street neighborhood of Oswego, New York, where people still carry the strong scents and accents of old countries. These lovely narrative poe…ms- inflected with the 'home ache' that is nostalgia's English translation-lament the loss of the local everywhere. As testament and elegy, they demonstrate the wages of trading 'bad cheddar for good Gargonzola,' but by writing, Murabito redeems even that defeat. Julia Spicher Kasdorf MFA Program Director, Penn State University Stephen Murabito's new collection, Lowering the Body, vividly brings to life a time, the 1960s, and place, upstate New York, that is lost to history, but beautifully rendered in these poems. As seen through the eyes of a child-observer whose Italian-American father runs one of those corner grocery stores that began disappearing by the end of that decade, the lives of an extended family, friends, and colorful neighbors are lovingly detailed. One hilarious and trenchant poem, 'My Mother Joins the Hippies,' portrays a moment in the community when protest of the Viet Nam War and women's rights accidentally met in the rural north: 'Mrs. Berlin, Mrs. Ferraro, and Mrs. Grimaldi joined the hippies' protesting that a pregnant teacher who is 'showing' has lost her job, Mother among the women joining the march and 'Carrying the grocery stamper higher and higher like some kind of baton.' In the heartbreaking 'Burying Cousin Peter,' the grieving father of the soldier son who died in Viet Nam beats 'a man up onto his front porch/ leaving him to bleed/ Into the last green of that year's tomatoes' and then gives his son's Cadillac to the man by way of apology. One thinks of today's lost sons and daughters, to which this poem relates. Murabito has a fine ear for spoken language, and an impeccable sense of the quotidian and the moral. This tender portrait of a backwater town registering on a daily level the impact of the great social changes of the 1960s is rich with narrative insight and at times ribald, life-affirming, Felliniesque humor. Cynthia Hogue Author of The Incognito Body and Flux.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In Chasing Saint George, Stephen Murabito creates a cast of rich, memorable characters. While these stories sparkle with small everyday wonders and mysteries, loves and desires, they're also operatic in the best sense of the word, soaring with grand, genuine passion. Murabito tells his tales…with great warmth and humor, and with a big, big heart.-Jim Daniels, author of Having a Little Talk With Capital P Poetry In Chasing Saint George, Stephen Murabito displays the rare gift of making readers laugh and cry at the same time. These sharply-written tales are populated by odd, yet familiar characters-a wayward Saint Bernard, a disgruntled bartender, a philosophical restaurant kitchen worker, a group of stubborn 'rosary ladies,' and women who will 'stay inside all day Saturday and make homemade pasta . . . and those who won't.' Murabito's playful voice lends humor and pathos to the bleak landscapes of upstate New York and southwestern Pennsylvania. His witty and engaging collection is sure to please all who seek good, old-fashioned storytelling.-Rita Ciresi, author of Pink Slip and Sometimes I Dream in Italian Masterfully written, Stephen Murabito's story collection is a chase for meaning in work, love, life, and in God, a chase that bolts and dodges and dares to lead us closer to ourselves. In this book of wonders, there's no turning back.-Paola Corso, author of Catina's Haircut and Giovanna's 86 Circles Stephen Murabito, in his beautiful book of stories, Chasing Saint George, fleshes out a world of impressionistic operatic sweep that evokes nonetheless the heartbreaking sepia of the documentarian. Murabito's prowess as a poet is evident in every syllable. His ear is exquisite, his attention to detail and nuance utterly precise. Chasing Saint George is a book of practiced wit, abiding love, the tattered glory of ordinary unforgettable people engaged in their daily, often absurd, yet absolutely necessary rituals. What happens to them is astonishing. That Murabito has seen them so clearly and delivered them to us with such unflinching clear-eyed devotion is even more so.-Joseph Bathanti, author of Restoring Sacred Art.
