“I want to grow
brilliant inside, be
thoroughly coloured by
the old, new astonishing
juice of this blossoming world
with all who have touched or ever will
these objects I’ve found to anchor me here
before I pass them on”— Excerpt from "To Feast, To Live"
A Bowl of Orange Suns
C$19.95Price
In A Bowl of Orange Suns, the splendid and benign colour “orange” transmigrates vividly across the boundaries of the physical dimensions and senses. It becomes, for Martignacco, an almost sacred hue. For these accessible but crafted poems are not just engaged in fully reproducing the world’s rich surface colours, textures and appearances: they also comprise songs from a life-long, active spiritual quest during which the poet has learned that “only the deep can teach.”
