Art of the Pie: A Practical Guide to Homemade Crusts, Fillings, and Life

The pie-making classic named one of 2016’s best cookbooks by NPR, Oprah.com, USA Today, Bon Appétit, Cosmopolitan and more.

The iconic Renaissance songbook—an inspiration to love poets since the fourteenth century—in an elegant, fluid, and inviting translation.

Petrarch’s Canzoniere stands as one of the greatest and most influential collections of love poetry ever written. In a classic story of love at first sight, the young poet expresses in beautiful verse his unrequited reverence for Laura, a muse who would prove as inspirational as Beatrice to Dante. Stricken with grief after Laura’s death, Petrarch transmuted his sorrow onto the page and continued working on the Canzoniere until his own passing. At once movingly romantic and grandly meditative, always present within Petrarch’s lines is a tension between his earthly desire and his spiritual longing for divine grace.

In this monumental translation, the project of a lifetime, renowned poet A.M. Juster preserves the original text’s formal elegance, honoring Petrarch’s rhyme and meter while also capturing the profound religious and philosophical undertones that imbue the work. R
