The Best of Youth Reviewed by Selma Duckler
The Best of Youth (La meglio gioventu).This comes from the title of a series of poems written in 1954 in Friulian (an ancient Italian dialect) by Pier Palolo Pasolini. D.Maffia, biographer writes,”Paslolini’s dialect poetry…came to be in order to decipher the present using the distant past”.

Interleaving: Writing and the Auto/Biographical Process
Click here to read “Interleaving: Writing and the Auto/Biographical Process” by Esther Altshul Helfgott from The Seattle Star.

So when The Seattle Star awakened from its sixty-five year-old sleep, I offered to write a column on “Writing and the Biographical Process.” I thought it would give readers a chance to share in the nitty-gritty of what one writer does during the day; and it would help me feel less isolated in the particularities of my writing life.
