Parliamo di un fenomeno di cui fino a pochi anni fa era praticamente ignoto, oggi riguarda decine se non centinaia di migliaia di ragazzi italiani. Sono gli Hikikomori, ragazzi e ragazze che vivono nel totale isolamento sociale e nell'auto reclusione casalinga. Ce ne parla lo psicologo che li studia da anni, Marco Crepaldi.
Bookstore publishes anthology of Beacon writers Things are humming at Stanza Books in Beacon, which has built a cohesive community of readers and writers since opening in 2023. On a chilly Tuesday evening last month, a dozen people huddled inside the shop to discuss John Irving's latest novel, Queen Esther. At first, co-owners Mark Harris and Andrea Talarico lived above the store. But they cemented their local roots by buying a house. And this spring, they plan to move social and retail operations into the historic firehouse on Main Street, next to the Veterans Memorial Building, tripling their footprint. They always intended to run a publishing arm, and their imprint's first issue is an anthology of writers who circulate within the store's orbit. "We chose contributors based on relationships, which evolved over time," says Harris. "They hold readings and, most importantly, show up for other authors' events. This is a snapshot of literary culture in Beacon for the year, and we're looking to do it again with different writers." Because the retail space cannot accommodate the family and friends of all 18 contributors, as well as everyone else who shows up, the book launch will be held at Madame Brett Social Club, a shared workspace with soft lighting and a full bar, on Saturday (Jan. 31). "It'll be a literary salon, where writers talk shop," Harris says. Stanza's second book, Demon Lover Witch, a dark fantasy set in Beacon and written by Harris, debuts Feb. 13. A children's title is scheduled for later this year. The 337-page 2025 Beacon Literary Scene anthology, published as a paperback, has a William Loeb photo of the dummy light on its cover. It skews toward fiction and poetry, although Adam McKible contributed a scholarly essay and Donna Minkowitz submitted a memoir that borders on confessional. The poets include Ruth Danon, Kristen Holt-Browning, Jim Seegert and Edwin Torres. Arranged alphabetically by last name, the works are easy to digest. The longest entry runs 26 pages; the shortest is two (Torres' "Bannerman Island"). Each contributor shared a statement about the role of writing in their lives, except for Peter Ullian, whose story concerns a Marine born on Mars. Gloria Beth Amodeo, who juggles writing with raising 3-year-old twins, sets a 30-minute timer when hunkering down. She met a couple of peers at a workshop who impose deadlines on each other and "don't judge." Steven Fechter, who switched from plays to fiction, composes in longhand on legal pads. Jackie Corley offers this pro tip: "Kill your darlings and all your backstory." Stanza sells books but is more than a store. "I've become close friends with one of the parents who brought their kids into our storytelling sessions, and I'm going over to his place tonight to play board games," Harris says. "If you're a sci-fi nerd, come to our reading club. Friendships have been made." The book launch is scheduled for 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday at the Madame Brett Social Club, 418 Main St., second floor. Tickets are $10 at dub.sh/beacon-writers-25. The anthology is $20, with proceeds benefiting the Howland Public Library.

Brian Turner is an American poet. He served for seven years in the U.S. Army, completing tours of duty in Bosnia-Herzegovina (1999-2000) before being sent in November 2003 to Iraq. He is the winner of the 2005 Beatrice Hawley Award for his debut, Here, Bullet, a collection of poems about his experience as a soldier during the Iraq War. In this podcast, Turner talks to Jennifer Williams about the poetry that came out of his experiences in the US military, and how poetry can be a line thrown out by the breath or a question planted inside a reader. Recorded in association with StAnza, Scotland's International Poetry Festival at StAnza 2014. Many thanks to James Iremonger (www.jamesiremonger.co.uk) for the podcast music.

January 3, 2026Today's Reading: Introit for Second Sunday After Christmas - Psalm 8:1, 4-6; antiphon: Psalm 8:2Daily Lectionary: Isaiah 63:1-14; Luke 2:21-40“Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger.” (Psalm 8:2)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Christmas provides us with a unique lens to contemplate Psalm 8:2. Almighty God stills the enemy and the avenger. To still in the Hebrew is “lehashbit.” It is where we get the word “sabbath.” It means to cease or to put rest. In the context of God's enemies, it means He stops them dead in their tracks. Those wicked forces at work by the demonic or our own sin (think Herod) are stopped dead in their tracks from derailing the Lord's plan of redemption. But how does He do this? Through the mouth of babies and infants! Not with the blunt force of angelic or earthly armies, not with an iron fist, but through the weakest and most vulnerable, babies and infants. God defeats the violent and arrogant lies of Satan, the world, and our sinful flesh with what the wisdom of the world would call “weak” or “foolish.” Think of this: While Jesus is the Son of God, rightly ordering the existence of the universe, He was a vulnerable baby dependent upon the arms and milk of His blessed mother! And this “weakness” begins the downfall of death and the devil. And the strength of weakness continues; beaten, bloody, and mocked on the cross, the gates of Heaven open to us, and the strength of Hell is slammed shut. And what does the Apostle Paul say, “God chose the weak in the world to shame the strong…so that no human being might boast before God.” (1 Corinthians 1:27-29) Christ within you, and you within Christ through Word and Sacrament, your faith clings to Him alone! And that faith which hangs on the Gospel causes the accuser and the powers of darkness to quake. Not because you are strong, but because you are as weak and helpless as a baby, and your strength is in the God-man born, crucified, raised, and ascended for you, our Lord Jesus! So at Christmastime, learn from St. Mary, “magnify the LORD and rejoice in God Your Savior.” Join with the blessed St. Paul and boast all the more gladly in your own weakness, so that the power of Christ may rest upon you (2 Corinthians 12:9). In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.You still the wicked's very boast, Establish strength to the utmost, By babes and mouths of infants small, Our enemies in silence fall. (Metered version of Psalm 8:2 to the tune of Vom Himmel Hoch found in LSB 358. Stanza written by Rev. Matthew Synnott)Author: Rev. Matthew Synnott, associate pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church, Peoria, Illinois.Audio Reflections Speaker: Rev. Richard Heinz, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Lowell, IN.Work through the first ten chapters of Matthew and learn more about who Jesus is. As you move through this study, you'll ponder the theological, practical, and historical considerations of the text. With ample room for personal notes, this study will have you feeling confident in your understanding of Matthew's Gospel.

Your host Andy, Ant and the husk of Dun don't really talk about QPR vs Ipswich as it was the most insignificant part of Saturday.Saturday was Go Purple For Lily Day....and we had a very special guest on the day. Lily.It was an emotional and crazy day. Sadly, Andy couldn't make it, but Dun and Ant were there are we cover off what it was like to be there on the day. The love and generosity was off the charts, there was media - we spoke with CBS Sports and Fox 5 news , there was a lot of QPR NYC fans, old and new and we met our new friends from our supporting clubs. We thank everyone who helped us and talk about what a wonderful club we support, because the people who work from the club are wonderful. Ant reveals the final total of our t-shirt campaign, and we have some other things to reveal of activity in NovemberWe are so proud to have brought the New York City Supporter community together and we talk about that too.Looking ahead to Southampton and Swansea, there are predictions and Ant's Kit Korner. We remember some lads, and an old friend pops up.Jacob dedicates a lovely Stanza to Lily and amongst all of the lovely stuff, we shout out the amazing Marti Wells, the force of nature who kicked off Lily's Go Fund Me. We were so lucky to meet her on Saturday and it was a pleasure.Thank you for listening, still time to donate. Check out @qprnewyorkcity on Instagram - links in our bio

Today's guest is Ian Schrager, the legendary hotelier, entrepreneur, and cultural pioneer who reshaped nightlife and hospitality as we know it.Ian first made his mark in the 1970s as the co-founder of Studio 54, the iconic New York nightclub that became a symbol of glamour, freedom, and cultural revolution. Alongside his partner Steve Rubell, Ian created an experience that transcended nightlife, merging design, celebrity, and theatricality into something entirely new.After Studio 54, Ian continued to reinvent hospitality. In the 1980s, he launched the Morgans Hotel Group, introducing the world's first “boutique hotel” : a concept that blended art, design, and service in a way that changed the industry forever. At a time when hotels were seen purely as places to sleep, Ian reimagined them as vibrant social hubs, activating lobbies, bars, and restaurants as dynamic public spaces that reflected and contributed to the cultural life of a city. With properties like Morgans, the Royalton, and the Delano, he transformed the hotel from a travel necessity into a cornerstone of the modern urban landscape: a place where design, community, and experience converged.In more recent years, Ian has continued to redefine hospitality with two visionary brands. EDITION Hotels, created in partnership with Marriott International, brings his boutique sensibility to a global stage. With around 22 properties worldwide, from New York and Miami Beach to London, Barcelona, Tokyo, and Dubai, each EDITION is designed as a one-of-a-kind reflection of its city, combining understated luxury, cutting-edge design, and activated social spaces that feel both intimate and electric.By contrast, PUBLIC represents Ian's evolution of the idea: “luxury for all.” Its flagship on New York's Lower East Side, designed by Herzog & de Meuron, reimagines the hotel experience through high style, technology, and inclusivity, featuring self check-in, vibrant communal areas, and nightlife-driven energy at a democratic price point. With plans to expand to West Hollywood and beyond, PUBLIC distills Schrager's decades of innovation into an accessible, modern model for the next generation of travelers.Across every chapter of his career, Ian Schrager has consistently challenged convention, blurring the lines between hospitality, art, and lifestyle, and influencing generations of hoteliers, designers, and creatives along the way.In this episode, Ian reflects on his incredible journey, from Studio 54 to the present, and shares the insights, risks, and instincts that have defined his enduring legacy.A heartfelt thank you to Peoplevine for sponsoring The Stanza podcast this year (and for supporting The Stanza since the beginning).

Dr. Jonathan Leary is the founder of Remedy Place, the social wellness club reimagining how we gather, recover, and connect. Trained in medicine and drawn to a more human, preventative approach, Jonathan spent years building a concierge sports-medicine practice while refining a 150-page business plan for a new kind of health club - one that could make self-care social and compelling. He opened the first Remedy Place in Los Angeles and has since expanded to New York and Boston, with a growing movement around contrast therapy, IV lounges, and community-driven rituals that help people feel better together.In this conversation, Jonathan shares his founder story: from the pivot that gave him five years of real-world data, to why he personally guaranteed his first lease. We unpack the idea of “social self-care” and why drink dates blunt connection, the business model behind Remedy Place, and what he's learned scaling from two to four clubs in just months.Thank you to Peoplevine for sponsoring the 2025 season of The Stanza.
