A Crown of Flames is a celebration that delves into the mysteries of human civilization, illuminating the hidden depths of our shared human experience. Cruciani's words evoke a sense of awe and reverence for the natural world. Each poem in this collection feels like a masterful exploration of the soul, inviting readers to see the world in new and profound ways.\"​-Tshaka Campbell, Santa Clara County Poet Laureate, author of Tunnel Vision (NaturalKink Enterprises, 2018)​\"Flaminia Cruciani's A Crown of Flames is a lush, often times terrifying, mythic, end\/restart of civilization-a tour of the history of literature, philosophy, and western ideals-churning images that range between pastoral and apocalyptic. A book of revelations-quixotic, Odyssean, Catholic, and quintessentially Italian.\"​--Linda Ravenswood, Winner of the Oxford Prize in Poetry and Edwin Markham Prize in Poetry​\"Flaminia Cruciani--a high priestess of poetry; steadfast custodian of word and metre--burns meanings into visions; scolds thoughts into actions. A Crown of Flames bears witness in English to the breadth and depth of her inspiration.\" --Marco Sonzogni, Director of New Zealand Centre for Literary Translation, Victoria University of Wellington​\u003cbr\u003e​\u003cbr\u003e​\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Flaminia Cruciani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1088106560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781088106563\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e El Martillo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.34d","brand":"Flaminia Cruciani","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44130171846911,"sku":"9781088106563","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_98820f44-6b63-4a0c-9d4b-e18835a228dd.jpg?v=1687467945","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-crown-of-flames-flaminia-cruciani-9781088106563","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
