Earthly and Heavenly Journey of Simone Martini (Green Integer)
by Mario Luzi
Category: Poetry

"Mario Luzi wrote Earthly and Heavenly Journey of Simone Martini in 1994, when he was eighty years of age. In this book the poet imagines the last voyage of the great painter from Avignon to his native Siena in the company of his family, servants, and a theology student. Their pilgrimage is a journey of discovery and purification that leads to a new, vibrant perception of reality." --Book Jacket.
