The Girls in the Chartreuse Jackets
ISBN: 9780991152322 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 74 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Girls in the Chartreuse Jackets combines Maria Mazziotti Gillan's unique gifts as a visual artist with her already internationally known and prize winning poetry. Gillan's imagination, whimsical sense of line and vibrant use of colors shine forth through this beautiful picture book in a manner that both compliments and contrasts with the wonderful poems. While the poetry offers moving narratives of people and events taken directly from Gillan's life, the paintings are the flip side of that record--deeply joyous, even gleeful depictions of the artist's rich, sometimes dream like inner...

In WHAT BLOOMS IN WINTER, Maria Mazziotti Gillan finds cause to celebrate the clarity and comfort of people and times past. This book is a praise song for all that is human and that survives despite grief and loss. It is one woman's story of an immigrant girl growing up in the 1950s in Paterson, NJ, and seeing over a distance of so many years all that she was given to carry into her life as a woman--wife, mother, daughter, grandmother, widow, and arts and eco-activist. All these experiences and people have formed her into the indomitable woman she is. Laced with humor and optimism, this book...

Ancestors' Song
ISBN: 9781599540634 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Poetry. Italian American Studies. Maria Mazziotti Gillan's Ancestors' Song takes the reader on a journey, one in which she recognizes deep within herself "the voices of the women who came before," their words blending together, forming, as she tells the reader, "the beat I move to." This beat is very much a part of the narrative she weaves in her characteristically honest, intimate, and humorous voice. This beat is true, hard working, strong; a beat that began in the villages on the mountaintops in San Mauro, Italy, and continues to the present day, illuminating the path for those that will...

Sinatra, The Jeeperettes & me
ISBN: 9781499792256 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 106 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "Rooted in narrative," this collection of 71 poems launches "an evocative journey" back through "Depression-era Paterson, New Jersey, that city so connected with poetry in literary history." It offers "a kaleidoscope of images" from the past: her parents dancing to Frank Sinatra and the Tommy Dorsey Band, "an image captured as though in a glass globe that glows in the light of her father's memories," and "the poet's mother . . . perpetually caught in the glamor of 1930's movies," combine with Balik's "love for her husband, their early courtship and marriage, their children, the daily rituals...

The Place I Call Home
ISBN: 9781935520672 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The place that Maria Mazziotti Gillan calls home is a universal haven built of enduring memories and peopled by loving family. In Gillan's newest book of poetry, THE PLACE I CALL HOME, we share her complex emotions of an immigrant childhood in Paterson, New Jersey, in the 1950s, her long marriage, her husband's devastating illness, and her subsequent widowhood. Yet, we also share the sheltering family in which she grew up, the deep love binding her and her husband, the unfolding of her life as a mother and grandmother, and, most of all, her resilient spirit. She reminds us that even when the...

The Silence in an Empty House
ISBN: 9781935520894 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In THE SILENCE IN AN EMPTY HOUSE, Maria Mazziotti Gillan comes to the limit of human experience, stares death in the face, and struggles to keep moving. These moments she faces and speaks of so clearly are unavoidable, and the long illness and death of her husband, Dennis, is her personal version of the fundamental struggle we all face. THE SILENCE IN AN EMPTY HOUSE speaks of forgiveness, guilt and grace. With courage and a stubborn refusal to look away from the terrors that surround her on so many levels, Gillan documents the parallels between our own struggles with mortality and the...
