Strolling in Rome with Claudia, Pierre Toutain-Dorbec

$15.00

Strolling in Rome with Claudia is a carnet de voyage of poems and photographs born from Pierre Toutain-Dorbec’s stay in the Eternal City.

“There is a strange, countering tension within each of these poems, between feeling inelastic and liberated all in the same instance. I’m reminded of Eugenio Montale and Giuseppe Ungaretti, of their strict formalism and their earthbound stakes that open nevertheless into the imagined above and then again into the spheres of demons and saints.”

— Christopher Hassett

Reflecting on his time in Rome, Pierre writes:

“The autumn of 2015, spent in Rome, marked a kind of personal renaissance. How wonderful it was to wander once again through the Eternal City—this time with my wife, Claudia.”

Paperback — 80 pages
Black-and-white photography, printed in color
5.5 × 8.5 in. (14 × 21.6 cm), portrait format
Perfect bound
