Dear all, we are very happy to share with you this beautiful poem written by our friend and collaborator Sante Matteo, “Glow On”. We hope you will enjoy it. https://boatsagainstthecurrent.org/poetry/glow-on-by-sante-matteo

You may remember Sante Matteo’s article “Escape from Paradise”, in which he imagines Beatrice (the woman loved by Dante) writing a letter to Laura ((loved by Petrarch). We want to share a link to another article that Matteo published on twelvewinters.com, in which he adds a commentary to the previous story. Enjoy, and thanks to Sante for providing the link!

It is a great pleasure to share with all of you a link to an article written by our friend and collaborator Mary Kovach on the celebration of Mother Cabrini’s 75 years of Sainthood, which happened in November 2021; we are a little late, but the last few months have been very busy and we are just now catching up.
Many thanks to Mary for sharing the link.

Do you like baseball? Did you know that baseball could be “biblical”? Starting from an essay written by a Yale literary scholar, A. Bartlett Giamatti, our friend and collaborator Sante Matteo wrote an interesting and humorous article on baseball and Dante’s “Divine Comedy” Enjoy! https://kairoslit.com/2020/05/01/the-journey-home-in-baseball-the-bible-and-the-divine-comedy/ 

Dear friends, you are now accustomed to the many talents of Sante Matteo; he is not only an excellent scholar, but also a great writer of fiction and non-fiction. We are happy to share a link to a humorous piece of writing he posted on the journal “Twelve Winters”, in which Sante imagines that Beatrice (Bice) Portinari, the woman loved by Dante Alighieri (immortalized in the Vita Nuova and in the Divine Comedy) writes to Laura De Noves, the woman loved by Francesco Petrarca, with an unexpected suggestion: run away! Many thanks to Sante for sharing the link! https://twelvewinters.com/matteo-escape-from-paradise/ https://twelvewinters.com/matteo-escape-from-paradise/

We are very happy to share with you the video of a panel of the virtual conference “Italian Borderlands. Restrictions, Breaches, Encounters” conference, organized last year by the John D. Calandra Italian American Institute. This panel discussed the last book published by Professor Emeritus Sante Matteo, “Il secondo occhio di Ulisse”.
