Poetry. Bilingual Edition. Translated from English into Italian by Ambra Meda. "A BOAT THAT CAN CARRY TWO is both an elegy and an affirmation of life. Haunted by memories of a lost sister, reprieved by the reality of a living daughter, Cariello's lyric voice travels between times and continents, along with an apple tree, an old boat, a street in New Jersey, and a street in China. It is a book that pauses, and then moves forward, with grace."—Alicia Ostriker
