In The 13th Sunday after Pentecost, Joseph Bathanti offers poems that delve deep into a life reimagined through a mythologized past. Moving from his childhood to the present, weaving through the Italian immigrant streets of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to his parochial school, from the ballpark to church and home again, these contemplative poems present a situation unique to the poet but familiar to us all.

As Bathanti recalls the joys, struggles, and confusion of his formative years in the late fifties and into the sixties, he gains a deeper understanding of the often surreal, always paradoxical world around him. He explores the perceived injustices of childhood, observes the mysteries of religious rituals, and examines the complex emotions families experience as children grow up and parents grow old. These poems divulge an eventful life, compelling us to reflect on our own as we confront a world of wonder and uncertainty.

Across the strike zone swoops a dove,

maybe an angel. You're in Pittsburgh,

March; it's snowing. All week

you've seen angels; everyone's tired,

proclaiming even horrid things angels,

intimating miracles. Johnson's pitch

obliterates the bird--

a hail of feathers and dander,

as if inside a tiny bomb detonated.

Like a cartoon. Thoroughly unbelievable.

Around you, people are dying.

But you ignore it.

You laugh at the massacred dove.

It's not funny, but you laugh.

You could cry, rip your hair out, your clothes off,

crash through the seventhfloor window

into the slushy black streets of the city.

It's funny because it's not.

--from "Angels"

Chewing pups love them.
My 8 mo Morkie loves them . The other two won't touch them . They're heavier than I expected but Belle doesn't seem to mind that. Great for dogs that like to chew!

Meh..., I'll stick to fave pig ear chews
Only 4 for $6, idk these don't last long. I wanted to try them because my dogs love being spoiled but I think I'll stick to pig ears at a discount from Petco. They are very hard, some chews crumble or soften as the dogs knaw at them during the day. However these chews didn't last longer than 10 minutes compared to actual no rawhide alternatives I have used. These didn't do that. No upset stomach so that's a plus. The smell was similar to pig ears also, texture was different. No slimy residue w/ it unlike with the regular 100% pig ears. Helped with plague build up but there is still plague on insicor tooth. Probably won't buy again, meh.

bag came ripped
bag came ripped so the chewy pig ears were not chewy they were hard, I didnt even give them to my dog. The worst part is they are not returnable or refundable - what a waste of money So not acceptable.
