Poetry from Lost Roads Publishers Five poems from Ex Voto Frances Mayes "A poet of her world, a writer inventing the world as she moves through it, unwilling to accept anyone else's version...there is an immediacy combined with the sense of an ongoing traditional struggle that pushes the poem out, makes it a poem of necessity." San Francisco Chronicle "Mayes has an urgent interest in the ways past and present converge...she writes with terse magic." Los Angeles Times In the summer The sleeper Good Friday, driving home I thought about you ... The untying of a knot

Poetry from Lost Roads Publishers Five poems from Ex Voto Frances Mayes The untying of a knot Divorce, how ugly. Ugly all the people. Brutal their faces and stunned, crude. How stupid the broken family like so many dropped crates of gaily painted china bought on holiday when you imagined the meals at home, at home, the wildflower plates in the kitchen sun, saucers for peaches and ginger cream, rainy afternoon with Chopin shaking the ficus, the record with the deep scratch but you don't care, and the line of lemon trees up the drive, yellow, yellow, the right faces, mirror-to-mirror. One nail drives out another. How far to reality from here? Names as close as your own veer into other trajectories. You enter a din, you're late, main course already served. And where were you on the day everyone remembers? How sentimental the future is, all unearned. But the future, you say, will have in it me, me, me. Wasn't it sad when that great ship went down, hit the bottom? You are the first family to fall. This is a small sloop and a long reach.

Related Guides Under The Tuscan Sun Random House Swan by Frances Mayes List Price: Pages: Format: Paperback ISBN: Publisher: Broadway In her celebrated memoirs of life in Tuscany, Frances Mayes writes masterfully about people in a powerful and shaping place. In Swan , her first novel, she has created an equally intimate world, rich with striking characters and intriguing twists of fate, that hearkens back to her southern roots. The Masons are a prominent but now fragmented family who have lived for generations in Swan, an edenic, hidebound small town in Georgia. As Swan opens, a bizarre crime pulls Ginger Mason home from her life as an archeologist in Italy: The body of her mother, Catherine, a suicide nineteen years before, has been mysteriously exhumed. Reunited on new terms with her troubled, isolated brother J.J., who has never ventured far from Swan, the Mason children grapple with the profound effects of their mother's life and death on their own lives. When a new explanation for Catherine's death emerges, and other closely guarded family secrets rise to the surface as well, Ginger and J.J. are confronted with startling truths about their family, a particular ordeal in a family and a town that wants to keep the past buried. Beautifully evoking the rhythms and idiosyncrasies of the deep South while telling an utterly compelling story of the complexity of family ties

It Takes a Villa In 1990 Frances Mayes, then a professor at SFSU, sank her savings into a dilapidated 300-year-old villa in Tuscany. She and her future husband, Ed, enlisted the help of workers who lived nearby to restore the house to its former glory. Mayes chronicled their scrubbing, digging, cooking, shopping, planting, and painting in "Under the Tuscan Sun," a 1996 memoir which enjoyed an initial 162-week stay on The New York Times bestseller list. The Hollywood version, which hit theaters in September, takes a few liberties with the book, but Mayes says the message is the same, that life in Italy is indeed la dolce vita. Hours before a phone interview from her home in Cortona, Italy, three weeks after the release of the Touchstone Pictures movie, "Under the Tuscan Sun," Mayes (M.A., '75) learned that her memoir was back at #1 on the Times' nonfiction bestseller list. "When I found out this morning," she said, "I felt like throwing open the window and going woo-hoo, woo-hoo!" Lately, Mayes has had plenty to woo-hoo about. Her first novel, "Swan," a story inspired by memories of her hometown of Fitzgerald, Ga., hit bookstores during the movie shoot. There are two new books in the works, and move over, Martha Stewart in the fall Mayes launched her own furniture line with Drexel Heritage, a collection called "At Home in Tuscany" that includes reproductions of antiques Mayes has collected across Italy.

IN TUSCANY Frances Mayes, with Edward Mayes Photographs by Bob Krist Broadway Books Travel ISBN: 0767905350 In this luscious coffee table book, fans of the memoirs UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN and BELLA TUSCANY may have a dream come true. After reading about the Tuscan farmhouse renovated by Frances and Edward Mayes and the colorful village of Cortona near their summer home, as well as salivating over descriptions of sun-ripened tomatoes or dusky porcini served with mozzarella, fresh herbs, and crusty loaves of fresh bread, we can now transport ourselves even more fully into the picturesque landscape of Tuscany. IN TUSCANY is divided into distinct sections, each containing photographs, essays and anecdotes, and original recipes, all serving to bring the beauty and singularity of Tuscany into sharp relief. La Piazza concentrates on the heart of the village, where every day outdoor markets thrive and people congregate, while La Festa highlights the beauty and excitement of bustling festivals and celebrations. The field - Il Campo - contrasts the natural beauty of the Tuscan countryside with the human designed coziness of La Cucina, the kitchen. La Bellezza means "the beauty," all so apparent in this section of expansive loveliness. Insightful narrative, breathtaking photography, and mouthwatering recipes collaborate to elevate armchair traveling to dizzying new heights in this luminous new offering by Frances Mayes, Edward Mayes, and photographer Bob Krist. IN TUSCANY is more than a book; it's food for all the senses.

UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN Frances Mayes Broadway Books Nonfiction ISBN: 0767916069 Reading Group Guide There have been so many books by expats singing the praises of their new "homes" abroad - the unhurried pace of Provence, the frenetic excitement of Paris, the burgeoning passion of Rome - that we are often tempted to turn up our noses at these latter-day explorers. We roll our eyes at their quaint anecdotes, charming discoveries, life-altering realizations. We are NOT impressed. We've seen this all before. In short, we are jaded. The "been there, done that" mentality is certainly one to eschew for UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN. This is a gem of a book if there ever was one - part Money Pit, part every Fellini film you've ever watched, part Bob Vila and his trusty sidekick Norm, part Marcella Hazan cookbook and part insider's vacation guide. Here Mayes explores every nook and cranny of Italian life, custom and soul. Frances Mayes discovers Tuscany the hard way - by falling in love. The object of her affections happens to be an abandoned villa - making the loving all the harder. When there is no heat, weeds are growing out of every crack and corner, and the all-important well dries out - how can you continue to love unconditionally? Even a doting mother might consider jumping ship. Not Mayes, who even in the face of the worst of it, rolls up her sleeves and keeps going. Reading UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN makes you feel like you you have shared a slice of that devoted life - toiled in the fields with the author, been aghast at the work ahead of you and delighted at its beatific outcome.

Et quitte à être si loin de la France, il aurait été dommage de ne pas en profiter pour visiter un peu ce vaste continent méconnu des Français. Ce livre est un carnet de voyage et décrit aussi bien des paysages et des rencontres que les sensations et impressions que l'auteur a ressenties. Cela permet une première découverte du pays mais hélas, le bouquin n'est pas bien gros et laisse comme une impression de pas fini! On en aurait voulu plus et on a un peu la sensation que l'auteur ne voulait pas se donner la peine de fouiller plus en profondeur, un peu comme si chaque soir, au lieu de prendre la plume et de jeter sur un papier toutes ses impressions, elle préférait aller se coucher! Dommage car j'étais fortement intéressée : je vais moi-même pouvoir découvrir ce pays l'année prochaine car nous allons vivre deux ans en Nouvelle-Calédonie (et que Nouméa-Sidney, c'est 3 heures d'avion!).

All 2000 - 2002 programs available in RealAudio View or listen to other past year programs: (September 28, 2002) Frances Mayes has probably done more to promote tourism in the Tuscan region of Italy than all the bureaucrats and advertising agencies have in the last one hundred years. Her first memoir, "Under the Tuscan Sun," chronicled the trials and triumphs of renovating an ancient Tuscan villa, called Bramasole, near the town of Cortona. "Under the Tuscan Sun" became a huge bestseller, which (incidentally) allowed Frances and her husband, Ed, to do much more extensive renovations to Bramasole than they could initially afford. "Under the Tuscan Sun" was followed by "Bella Tuscany," another memoir which found an equally enthusiastic audience. And then there was the gorgeous coffee table book, "In Tuscany," which is guaranteed to turn the nicest souls pea green with envy. However, in her latest book, Frances has abandoned Tuscany for a small town in rural Georgia. It's her first novel, which she has titled "Swan" and it's based on her childhood in that area of the south.
