“A startlingly intuitive new poet—one to watch.” — Kirkus Reviews

Eppure, Il Cielo (Still, the Sky) by Tom Pearson, translated by Andrea Sirotti, and published by Interno Poesia is available June 5. Pre-order is available now.

This special edition features both the original English and Italian translation, side-by-side, along with all original artwork.

"Eppure, il cielo" è una mitologia speculativa resa attraverso la poesia e l'arte che combina i racconti di Icaro e del Minotauro e crea per loro una maturità condivisa attraverso una corrispondenza di frammenti scritti, artefatti, ecofatti ed effimeri. Ricordi frammentati, reliquie e confessioni si combinano in un labirinto di sogni febbrili e meditazioni che contemplano l'innocenza e l'esperienza, la guerra e la pace, l'esilio e il ritorno a casa, la fuga e il fallimento, l'amore e la perdita.

Still, the Sky is a speculative mythology rendered through poetry and art that combines the tales of Icarus and the Minotaur and creates for them a shared coming-of-age through a correspondence of written fragments, artifacts, ecofacts, and ephemera. Fragmented memories, relics, and confessions combine in a labyrinth of fever dreams and meditations which contemplate innocence and experience, war and peace, exile and homecoming, flight and failure, love and loss.
