Description
Two Cities is a deeply personal meditation by acclaimed poet and New Yorker writer Cynthia Zarin. She explores two cities, Venice and Rome, each a work of art that has shaped her own experiences of love and loss.
In this ekphrasis series book, Zarin brings these historic cities to life with vivid detail, from the Venice Biennale to the Piazza di Spagna, and from the Lagoon to the Tiber. Her poetry reveals the smallest details and loveliest gestures that make each city unique.
As a poet first and foremost, Zarin's attention to narrative in situ creates space for these two cities to become characters themselves, their relationship to her as real as any love affair. This is the sixteenth book in the expanding series, offering a fresh perspective on two of Italy's most iconic destinations.
