Strolling in Rome with Claudia

Résumé : "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 Pierre Toutain-Dorbec was born in Orbec, Normandy, France. Pierre is French-American and resides in Oregon. He is a photographer, artist, author, former war correspondent, and a publisher, whose work emphasizes a humanist perspective. Throughout his long, international career he has published over 40 books.
