Second collaboration by Dom Gabrielli and his brother, artist Piers Faccini (better known for his music at present).The Parallel Body comprises 43 poems. There are no titles, no obstacle to the flow between one poem and the next. I imagine a sea and poems as waves. I imagine a field and poems as gusts of wind. I imagine poems as love letters. The book begins with a series of questions to which there manifestly are no answers. Only the poems themselves can come close to unfolding these questions. Something secret emerges, something unspoken, something to be heard only in this body of wandering words. -- Dom Gabrielli
