Museum of Objects Burned by the Souls in Purgatory - Paperback
by Jeffrey Thomson (Author)
Titled after a small gallery of the same name found in Rome, the poems are devoted to meditations on religious relics and works of art. They explore the narrative power these objects carry--the way we imbue totemic figures with both meaning and story, and the potential they have to define the world.
