Venus Intervention

Venus Intervention has been nominated for the Bram Stoker Awards 2014 (superior achievement in Poetry Collection) and for the Elgin Award 2015. The poem "The Man Who Saw the World" has been nominated for the Rhysling Award 2015.

A gothic and disturbing poems collection, an exciting journey into the nightmare that will leave you breathless. Words to be read more than once, to hear again the sound of the emotions that rotate inside the magical kaleidoscope imagined by the authors. You will never be the same again, after being caught by that Venus, in all her forms.

Una raccolta di poesie gotiche e inquietanti, altamente emozionali, per un viaggio da incubo che vi lascerà senza fiato, costringendovi alla rilettura e a seguire le continue rotazioni di un magico caleidoscopio (in lingua inglese).
