Poesie notturne

A collection of profound and moving poems by Cristina Bellemo dedicated to all the children of the World and the night creatures.

The focus of this book is the delicate transition between being awake and falling asleep, seeing and dreaming, knowing you exist and fearing you will not return.

Flavia Ruotolo’s illustrations redefine the starry sky, where atoms, planets and celestial bodies take the form of toys, mismatched socks, dinosaurs and remind that desiring firstly means “await what the stars will bring” or rather, stare at something we do not have and that seduces us.
