La famiglia Casadio vive da sempre nel borgo di Stellata, all'incrocio tra Lombardia, Emilia e Veneto. Gente semplice, schietta, lavoratrice. Poi, all'inizio dell'Ottocento, qualcosa cambia per sempre: Giacomo Casadio s'innamora di Viollca Toska, una zingara, e la sposa. Da quel momento, i discendenti della famiglia si dividono in due ceppi: i sognatori dagli occhi azzurri e dai capelli biondi, che raccolgono l'eredità di Giacomo, e i sensitivi, che hanno gli occhi e i capelli neri di Viollca, la veggente.

Vulnerable, tender, acute, these are serious poems, brave poems, exploring with honesty the ambiguous moment between the rapture of youth and the grace of acceptance. A daughter tends to aging parents. A woman struggles with infertility—“What if, instead of carrying / a child, I am supposed to carry grief?”—and a body seized by pain and vertigo as well as ecstasy. A nation convulses: “Every song of this country / has an unsung third stanza, something brutal.” And still Limón shows us, as ever, the persistence of hunger, love, and joy, the dizzying fullness of our too-short lives.

An astonishing collection about interconnectedness—between the human and nonhuman, ancestors and ourselves—from National Book Critics Circle Award winner, National Book Award finalist and U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón.
