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. 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. The sixteenth book in the expanding, renowned
ekphrasis series, Two Cities creates space for these two historic
cities to become characters themselves, their relationship to the
writer as real as any love affair.
