The open mouth of the Orcus, in the front-cover photograph,
represents an entrance to the underworld, according to all the
symbolism embedded in the Gardens of Bomarzo, built in the 16th
Century in central Italy. And this book actually seems to play with
different strata of reality and perception, with different states
of the mind – as well as the soul. It proceeds from the concrete
to the oneiric; from the past, constantly weighting down the
present, to the timeless moment that perhaps in the final poems
gives meaning to – or annihilates – all the dense
phantasmagoria that courses through its pages.
