Vittoria Colonna
Selections from the Rime Spirituali with Photographs of Josep Maria Subirachs' Passion Façade
Price:
CA$16.95
ISBN: 9780889843707
Pub Date: April 2014
Imprint: Porcupine's Quill
The first woman to achieve wide recognition as a poet in Renaissance Italy, Vittoria Colonna was known for her ardent, but also deeply spiritual, verses. This volume reproduces ten of her sonnets in the original Italian alongside new English versions of compelling simplicity, and complements both with a sequence of moving black and white photographs. Governor General's Award winner Jan Zwicky gives Colonna's spiritual insights a contemporary voice, while photographer and noted mathematician Robert Moody paces her words against a visual meditation on the Passion story, as conveyed by Subirachs' sculptures for the basilica of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. The volume's juxtaposition of poetry and photography illuminates the passion, reverence, and timelessness of both Subirachs' and Colonna's work.
