(Poetry. Two thousand years ago a Sicilian immigrant poet ...)
Poetry. Two thousand years ago a Sicilian immigrant poet named Theocritus invented the pastoral -- a mode of lyric poetry in which a sophisticated, urban imagination recaptures the innocence of life rooted in the natural world. Today another Sicilian poet recreates the pastoral in American terms in the finely observed and delicate lyrics that make up THE SILVER LAKE LOVE POEMS. At once innocent and sophisticated, urban and pastoral, Emanuel di Pasquale creates poetry that is timeless and direct -- Dana Gioia.
