Coming in Unexpectedly

Beschreibung

Carrega's writing is what Charles Baudelaire, great illustrious grandfather of this literary genre, had in mind when, in the introduction to Paris Spleen, his book of prose poems, he called for a poetic prose ... supple enough and rugged enough to adapt itself to the lyrical impulses of the soul, the undulations of reverie, the jibes of conscience.
