Pasquale Verdicchio’s “Isthmus” is a remarkable collection of poetry that explores the complexities of identity and belonging. Published in 1991, this work resonates with the experiences of immigrants and diasporic communities, offering a poignant reflection on the liminal spaces they occupy. Verdicchio’s poetic voice is both introspective and expansive, weaving together personal narratives with broader cultural and historical contexts.

These subtle signs of wear only add to its character, reminding us of the enduring power of literature to connect individuals across time and space. For collectors and readers alike, “Isthmus” represents a significant contribution to the canon of Italian-Canadian literature, shedding light on the multifaceted nature of cultural identity in an increasingly globalized world.
