Description
I have loved reading these poems. They are beautiful, and worthy of the contemporary enchanted island. Claudio Angelini sees New York with the intimacy of one who dwells there, yet with the wonder of an outsider — and he tells what he sees with the voice of a poet, enriching the city’s music with the music of the Italian language. ~ Robert Pinski
