Once again, Maria Famà makes us smile as she cajoles us with profound folk wisdom and ironic wit. This is a book everyone of any background can delight in. The witty folk wisdom it offers can be cherished for a lifetime.
--Daniela Gioseffi, American Book Award winner
The Good for the Good weaves wit and warmth into poems inspired by Italian and Sicilian sayings embraced by her family through generations.
--Amy Barone, Author of We Became Summer
These poems create a rich tapestry of folk wisdom, linguistic hybridism, and inter-generational transfer across two sides of an ocean. . . . Famà 's reflections on the legacies of her Sicilian heritage are as timeless as the sayings that inspired her work.
--Lina Insana, Associate Professor at University of Pittsburgh
