Mystics in the Family (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781599540474)

"In her unique, rhapsodic way, Maria Famà transmits history, both past and present, in her poetry. Bringing a modern touch to traditional storytelling, she gives voice to memory in the beat of our times. Through her words, we visit many corners of the world, not just the Sicily and South Philadelphia which are most likely to be familiar to her, but every other place her stories bring us. Famà seems to be at home everywhere, even the spirit world, as indicated in the title of this collection, Mystics in the Family. Her characters are endearing, and so is her way of invoking them. Each subject is eyed with her purity of vision, and treated with tenderness and respect. Through Famà's poetry, history is appreciated, revered-and loved." -- Rosemary Petracca Cappello, Poet, Writer, and Editor of Philadelphia Poets
