Inhaltsangabe

Once again, Maria Famà makes us smile as she cajoles us with profound folk wisdom and ironic wit. This is a book everyone of any background can delight in. The witty folk wisdom it offers can be cherished for a lifetime. —Daniela Gioseffi, American Book Award winner The Good for the Good weaves wit and warmth into poems inspired by Italian and Sicilian sayings embraced by her family through generations. —Amy Barone, Author of We Became Summer These poems create a rich tapestry of folk wisdom, linguistic hybridism, and inter-generational transfer across two sides of an ocean. . . . Famà’s reflections on the legacies of her Sicilian heritage are as timeless as the sayings that inspired her work. —Lina Insana, Associate Professor at University of Pittsburgh
