Old World Wings - Paperback

by A. M. Hayden (Author)

"Old World Wings: Poems of Europe" is a vivid, narrative poetic adventure through European history, art, religions, and culture. From Rome's magical fountains and medieval churches, Venice's whispered canals and masquerade mysteries, France's ornate mirrors at Versailles and Notre Dame Easter service (before the fire), epic stories from Irish bards, Mozart and string quartets in Vienna, to gritty legends of Krampus in the Czech Republic, this evocative storytelling reminds us why experiencing a kaleidoscope of humanity can shake the dust off our wings and send us soaring.
