Poet, educator and essayist Marco Fazzini selects 13 visionary poems by Henry David Thoreau for all-new Italian translations. Illustrated with original watercolours.

The Italian poet, educator and translator Marco Fazzini collects 24 reflections in a dual-language edition, musing on landscapes, voyages, personages and the process of memory.

With this poem Marco Fazzini enlivens the sublime metaphor whereby the sea is associated with the cosmos and an island with the Earth itself.

“In Riding the Storm, [Fazzini] is less concerned with elemental symbols ... and takes his inspiration from the poetry of other poets in other languages.
