European grandmothers share important traits, a love of cooking and a love of family. I'm Armenian and yet, I see my own grandmothers as I read through stories which capture our heritage.

Season of Subtraction

by Michelle Reale

ISBN 978-1-59954-136-5

VIA Folios 138

Publication Date: March 2019

SEASON OF SUBTRACTION is like Sicily's own citrus fruits-hybridized, yet native and emblematic; sweet and intricate, yet often bitter in places at the whim of life's turning. With its nuanced language, crafted metaphors, and raw honesty, Reale's work is a treat to be savored.

-Chad Frame, Montgomery County Poet Laureate, 2017

VIA Folios 137

Publication Date: April 2019

Frasca is a poet of wonder, and this work is alive, visionary, painterly. Here, myth isn't an old story, it is the art of transformation, and Frasca embodies an ever-present unfolding.

Cesare Pavese's Long Journey

by Giose Rimanelli

ISBN 978-1-59954-133-4

Saggistica 27

Publication Date: Spring/Summer 2019

"[T]his book-length study of Pavese brings to light an important chapter of Rimanelli's own life journey. It highlights a strong sense of tradition, a loyalty to place and to one's roots, and the idea of America as a metaphor for one's literary substance, one's myth, and one's destiny."

-Mark Pietralunga, from the "Introduction"
