Belongs to Publisher Series
Focusing always on the 'spazi intermedi' or silent regions and objects that define our lives, 'The Hippopotamus' is a scrupulous record of common, daily events engaged in their sultry search for some cosmic meaning. Throughout the search, the poet reminds his readers of the illusory jungle that surrounds them with his wry wit and subtle verbal shifts. These poems are fleeting glimpses of a magnetic and capricious universe that draws its inhabitants -- often despite themselves -- back again and again to view and review its mysteries and reflections.
