Edited by poet, translator and academic Dr Luca Paci, and published as a parallel text edition in Italian and English, this anthology offers an extraordinary array of styles and voices. There is spoken word and lyrical poetry as well as experimental, concrete and rhymed.

The reader will discover a diverse range of poetry dealing with the topical concerns of identity, sex, politics, migration and race.
