On Your Bones

Paolo Cipolletta

Beschreibung

The peaceful life of Massimo, brilliant musician, and his wife Paola, a successful cardiologist, is soon turned upside-down by bad news that will quickly upset their daily routine. The cycle of life and death, of light and darkness, of hope and sorrow are intertwined and deformed. The happiness of expecting twin girls turns into fear and courage, becomes a challenge: Paola’s pregnancy is a rare case, making fun of probability, statistics and medical knowledge. It’s up to him to fix everything, set up relationships, redefine boundaries, moderate words. But it’s a race against time, against the wounded pride of a man trying to get out of the maze he’s trapped in. Massimo, indeed, after a surprising and terrifying discovery, is no longer able to distinguish reality from illusion. Everything becomes ostensible, hiding the primordial deception. Who is going to pay for the choices made? And for how long?PUBLISHER: TEKTIME

Grandfather's Robin

Gillian Bickley

Grandfather's Robin offers poems about People, Fellow Creatures, Society, Ekphrasis, Scenes and Moods, Survival, and Short Poems. They were written over several years, in response to people seen, read about, or known, and in response to creatures seen, read about, or known. Other poems respond to group and social behaviour, and reflect responses to works of art. Some poems are prompted by the natural world, urban and village life, and thoughts about the survival of all beings. The short poems offer instants both serious and humorous.
“So many reasons to enjoy Gillian Bickley’s luminous poetry – humour, depth and wisdom. ... Lovely and evocative, Bickley’s powers of observation and precise, selective description lend many of these poems the power of fine portraiture, a sepia photograph, where we see into the eyes, where we discover essence.”
— Jack Mayer, poet (Poems from the Wilderness)
“In this work, Gillian Bickley affords us a glimpse into her perspective. She invites us to reflect on the rich tapestry of life and our shared human experience. Why should you read this collection? Because there is no greater privilege than intimacy.”
—Mary-Jane Newton poet (Of Symbols Misused, Unlocking)
“... poems as moments of tranquility in which we can encounter lives unrolling in times that ... are anything but. To make a record such as this is a good resolution indeed, and I am pleased that Gillian has chosen for the cover a moment of tranquility I painted. As Mrs. Dorothy Collins might have said, reflecting, as these poems do, the quietness of a life-long practice, ‘Very well!’”
—Steven Schroeder, Chicago
