Synopsis

In Tell Me Another Story, Marucci examines those closest to her—her grandfather, nephew, and husband—as well as those she hardly knows—the women sitting at the next table in the diner; the roofer she meets on the train. Part 1: Me, is comprised of Emmy's own story—raw and personal—while Part 2: You tells the stories of others. With genuine curiosity and tenderness, Marucci asks of herself, her loved ones, and perfect strangers the child's perennial question: "Will you tell me a story?" 

Read by the author; music by Nick Ceglia.

Audio edition contains author commentary as well as soundscapes and music composed and performed by the author’s husband.

About Emmy Marucci

There is only one thing Emmy Marucci values above the written word, and that’s family. Born in the late '80s to a creative brood, Marucci continues to be inspired by the stories and passionate emotions that colored her childhood. As an adult, Marucci moved to New York City and gathered an artistic cohort, taking nostalgic photos with a 35mm camera and writing for zines. What began as an amateur expression evolved into SHK Magazine—a digital hub created from scratch, featuring the likes of Lorde, Tove Lo, and Langley Fox Hemingway. She has created digital copy for Lord & Taylor, Hudson’s Bay, Tarin Thomas, Cienne NY, LuMee, Nexxus NY Hair Care and most recently, sustainable fashion brand EILEEN FISHER.

Goodreads review by Erika

3.5 stars. Tell me another story was more of an okay read. The poems about loss and death were very good and touching and I enjoyed those a lot. But as for the others, not so much. They were either hit or miss for me. Half were okay and half I didn't really like especially when half of said poems were......more

This collection explores a variety of topics including loss, youth, love, acceptance, heartbreak, and much more. Over half a decade ago now, I lost my grandfather to cancer. It was a drawn-out, miserable death where he became a very small shadow of himself before finally leaving us. Like Emmy Marucci......more
