The Harvest and the LampAuthor(s): Andrew Frisardi\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Franciscan Academic Press, United States\nImprint: Franciscan Academic Press\nISBN-13: 9781733988964, 978-1733988964\nSynopsis\nThe Harvest and the Lamp, the third volume of the Colosseum Books series, is a singular collection of poems in a wide variety of forms and voices. Author Andrew Frisardi writes on fundamental human themes such as love and desire, death and grief, the nature of the self and self-transcendence in a tone that ranges from serious to witty to exuberant.\n\nThe poems are often set in Italy, where Frisardi has lived for a number of years, drawing on natural or concrete imagery as well as the imaginal or symbolic. Frisardi composes in a number of forms: sonnet and sestina, triolet and ghazal, nonce forms and free verse, gracefully and with a fresh use of diction and rhyme. As the late poet-translator Brett Foster put it, Andrew Frisardis [poems] are exquisitely made things, many angled.
