      abstract = {For more than thirty years, the journal Italian Americana  has been home to the writers who have sparked an  extraordinary literary explosion in Italian-American  culture. Across twenty-five volumes, its poets, memoirists,  story-tellers, and other voices bridged generations to  forge a brilliant body of expressive works that help define  an Italian-American imagination. Wild Dreams offers the  very best from those pages: sixty-three pieces-fiction,  memoir, poetry, story, and interview-that range widely in  style and sentiment, tracing the arc of an immigrant  culture's coming of age in America. What stories do Italian  Americans tell about themselves? How do some of America's  best writers deal with complicated questions of identity in  their art? Organized by provocative themes-Ancestors, The  Sacred and the Profane, Love and Anger, Birth and Death,  Art and Self-the selections document the evolution of  Italian-American literature. From John Fante's "My Father's  God," his classic story of religious subversion and memoirs  by Dennis Barone and Jerre Mangione to a brace of poets,  selected by Dana Gioia and Michael Palma, ranging from John  Ciardi, Jay Parini, and Mary Jo Salter to George Guida and  Rachel Guido de Vries. There are also stories alive with  the Italian folk tradition (Tony Ardizzone and Louisa  Ermelino), and others sleekly experimental (Mary Caponegro,  Rosalind Palermo Stevenson). Other pieces-including an  unforgettable interview with Camille Paglia-are  Italian-American takes on the culture at large.},
