This new collection, Dear Dante, is her response to Dante's epic poem: 39 poems (13 for each of the 3 canticles), plus an additional 3 to serve as prologue and epilogue, all written in the poetic forms Dante loved best: the sonnet and the form he invented, terza rima. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In O'Donnell's words: \"Dear Dante is a species of accompaniment, an act of homage, and a long love letter to Dante. It might also be read as a series of meditations that attest to how dear Dante is to us. The Commedia is our inheritance, a gift granted to readers by our brother poet 700 years ago. These poems are an admittedly small expression of gratitude for that grand and graced gift. Grazie Mille, Maestro.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Paraclete Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/09\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781640609372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Angela Alaimo O'Donnell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43673027444917,"sku":"9781640609372","price":17.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_bb2f012b-4f59-4789-a1b5-07d695697c08.jpg?v=1709053084","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/dear-dante-poems-9781640609372","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
