<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From acclaimed poet and New Yorker writer Cynthia Zarin comes a deeply personal meditation on two cities, Venice and Rome--each a work of art, both a monument to the past--and on how love and loss shape places and spaces.</b> <p/>Here we encounter a writer deeply engaged with narrative in situ--a traveler moving through beloved streets, sometimes accompanied, sometimes solo. With her, we see, anew, the Venice Biennale, the Lagoon, and San Michele, the island of the dead; the Piazza di Spagna, the Tiber, the view from the Gianicolo; the pigeons at San Marco and the parrots in the Doria Pamphili. As a poet first and foremost, Zarin's attention to the smallest details, the loveliest gesture, brings Venice and Rome vividly to life for the reader. <p/>The sixteenth book in the expanding, renowned <i>ekphrasis</i> series, <i>Two Cities</i> creates space for these two historic cities to become characters themselves, their relationship to the writer as real as any love affair.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"...there is an art of withholding, as well as an art of disclosure, and Zarin reveals herself here to be a first-rate practitioner of it."--Christopher R. Beha "The New York Times"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Cynthia Zarin</b> is the author of five books of poetry, most recently, <i>Orbit</i> (2017), as well as five books for children and a collection of essays, <i>An Enlarged Heart: A Personal History</i> (2013).
