A veteran of several decades of public radio broadcasting, Feraca is also a writer and a poet. She is a talk show host beloved for her unique mixture of the humanities, poetry, and journalism, and is the creator of the pioneering international cultural affairs radio program Here on Earth: Radio without Borders.In this searing memoir, Feraca traces her own emergence. She pulls back the curtain on her private life, revealing unforgettable portraits of the characters in her brawling Italian-American family: Jenny, the grandmother, the devil woman who threw Casey Stengel down an excavation pit; Dolly, the mother, a cross between Long John Silver and the Wife of Bath, who in battling mental illness becomes the scourge of a Lutheran nursing home; and Stephen, the brilliant but troubled older brother, an anthropologist adopted by a Sioux tribe. In a new chapter that reinforces and ties together the books exploration of the multiple forms of love, Jean introduces us to Roger, a Wildman and her husbands best friend with whom she, too, develops an extraordinary intimacy. A selection of fifteen of Feracas poems add counterpoint to her engaging prose.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51936468205856,"sku":"NEW029928574X","price":25.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/i-hear-voices-a-memoir-of-love-death-and-the-radio-029928574x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
