Dentro, il buio lo invase. Antico come il Tempo e avvolgente come il grembo della Madre. Seppe che doveva affidarsi, e che questa era la sua prova; sentiva risuonare dentro di s le parole dei Veggenti che lo avevano chiamato l'Atteso, il prescelto dalla Stella del Nord. Qui cominciava il suo viaggio. Lasci cadere ogni tentativo di riprendere possesso dei suoi sensi ottenebrati, strinse le mani sul suo cristallo vivente e si avvi . I suoi passi erano sicuri, anche se non sapeva dove lo stessero portando. Andava avanti nel cuore della terra, in una galleria che lo accoglieva e gli si chiudeva alle spalle.

Winner of the 2023-24 Poetic Justice Institute Prize, Selected by Srikanth Reddy A poetic exploration that reimagines form and language through celestial patterns Informed by mystery, chaos, order and writing as container, A Winter Triangle explores poetic space and form amid the infinite possibilities of composition and change. Composed of three parts, or "points," like its namesake asterism, this collection is inspired by Stéphane Mallarmé's idea of composing poetry from the "senseless splendor" of the skies as well as the designs for automata by 12th-century inventor and engineer Ismail al-Jazari, and mythological depictions of Sirius, the dog/wolf star, as both a keeper of order and the agent of chaos and energy. Inventing a new poetic form, the septentrional, which trembles in its own process of becoming throughout the length of the book, Marcella Durand questions the potential of poetry in the face of artificial intelligence, climate change, and political turbulence in which language is often twisted into the opposite of its own meaning. By counting the seven syllables of the septentrional, and opening spaces (caesura) within the poetic line to provide breath and rejuvenation amid exhausting world events, these poems resituate poetry as an alternate space in which to reimagine the given forms of constellations and how we imagine order out of seeming chaos. Thus the question is opened as to whether the poet may ever make sense of the "senseless splendor" of the skies, or simply convey them as they are through poetry, holding the infinite within the finite, for a time. Durand reads the "dustlike" script of the calligraphic galleon, a ship created entirely out of words, as art and struggles to understand the burning Wolf/Dog star which stands between law and lawlessness. Is there actual connection between stars in the constellations we have invented? Can we find room for composition within the broken loops of infinity? At the point between old and new, bow and arrow, chaos and order, A Winter Triangle asks us to face the overwhelm of change—self-inflicted, invented, planetary and real.

As Marcella Ann Stapor collected scraps of memories from her long and rich life - a colorful story here, a chance encounter there - a vivid arc came into view. Born in an era in which women were not afforded the career advantages of men, Marcella drew strength from her buoyant spirit and bottomless optimism, ultimately becoming a respected attorney and avid world traveler. In this thoughtful and uplifting memoir, Marcella recalls the indelible events that shaped her extraordinary life, from losing her father at a young age, to confronting gender bias as the only woman in her Brooklyn law school class, to embracing her senior years with the passion and curiosity that have become her trademark. "I believe in karma," Marcella reflects. "I think life should be lived by a moral and ethical code, and I am comfortable knowing where I stand in that regard. In fact, I am looking for my next challenge right now."
