Title: Daughters for sale
Description: Daughters for Sale continues the author's journey begun in Italian Women and Other Tragedies, Gianna Patriarca's successful first collection of poems (Guernica, 1994). Here is a compassionate search for understanding lives dislocated by the immigrant experience. Through humor, irony, anger, and reconciliation, Gianna Patriarca reveals the fragility and intensity of the unforgettable characters she meets. Their 'songs in dialect' arise from voices not accustomed to being heard in any official culture.

These poetic snapshots of women and men will leave no reader indifferent.
