The New World - (Princeton Contemporary Poets) by Anthony Carelli (Paperback)

The New World by Anthony Carelli is a captivating collection of poems that takes you on an unforgettable journey through the eyes of a pilgrim-poet.

With allusions to Dante woven throughout, this travelogue unfolds in a series of darkly comic episodes, inviting you to re-see, lament, and re-sing the stories we tell.

As the poet awaits the arrival of his child, a would-be Columbus, on the shores of a land lost in mindscapes and mythscapes, he takes you deeper into the uncanny encounters that surround us.

With constant unsettling of inherited forms, this collection is bound to the pilgrim, who cannot pretend to dissolve our purgatories but can only invite us-as a latter-day Virgil would-deeper into the strange spaces of The New World.

Will you join the poet on this journey and discover the grace that can be found amid disarray?
