The late Nobel laureate, Russian-emigre poet's quick graph of his enthrallment by the meta/physical life of the city of Venice. In this mosaic of forty-eight short chapters, each recalling a specific episode from one of his many visits, the narrative meanders, dallies, picks up speed, turns back reflectively on itself. The poet is buried in the Venice he so brilliantly inscribes. 135p.
