Description:

Gathered from early twentieth-century Italian magazines, manuscripts, correspondence, television recordings, and ephemeral art volumes, Geometry of Shadows is the first comprehensive collection of Giorgio de Chirico’s Italian poetry, with award-winning poet Stefania Heim's translations presented alongside the Italian originals.

De Chirico's poems are as essential and as mysterious as his paintings.

—Jhumpa Lahiri

is a gorgeous document celebrating the elasticity and innate potential of language, by an artist ever in pursuit of deeper understanding.
