Produktbeschreibung

Cover art by Julio LabraAuthor photo by Dino Ignani ¿"Flaminia Cruciani's language holds the vivid and evocative between its fingers like glue and lets us see the natural world and mysteries of the cosmos. A Crown of Flames is a celebration that delves into the mysteries of human civilization, illuminating the hidden depths of our shared human experience. Cruciani's words evoke a sense of awe and reverence for the natural world. Each poem in this collection feels like a masterful exploration of the soul, inviting readers to see the world in new and profound ways."¿-Tshaka Campbell, Santa Clara County Poet Laureate, author of Tunnel Vision (NaturalKink Enterprises, 2018)¿"Flaminia Cruciani's A Crown of Flames is a lush, often times terrifying, mythic, end/restart of civilization-a tour of the history of literature, philosophy, and western ideals-churning images that range between pastoral and apocalyptic. A book of revelations-quixotic, Odyssean, Catholic, and quintessentially Italian."¿--Linda Ravenswood, Winner of the Oxford Prize in Poetry and Edwin Markham Prize in Poetry¿"Flaminia Cruciani--a high priestess of poetry; steadfast custodian of word and metre--burns meanings into visions; scolds thoughts into actions. A Crown of Flames bears witness in English to the breadth and depth of her inspiration." --Marco Sonzogni, Director of New Zealand Centre for Literary Translation, Victoria University of Wellington¿ ¿ ¿
