Sinossi

Often lushly longing, Piero Rivolta’s poetry and philosophic musings are gathered together in Just One Scent, The Rest is God. Originally published in Italy by Crocetti, the 23 poems and three prose pieces form a meditation on a life well-lived as Rivolta plumbs eternal questions and reviews the choices made and unmade as one navigates the seas of existence. "I can do no more than reread what I wrote for myself thirty years ago then ask myself whether I wasted my youth or used it well." A true romantic, Rivolta references the sunrise and sunset of relationships in his poetry, planting himself firmly in the fertile fields of love lost while watching, always hopeful, for the rain of love still to fall. Ultimately, hope holds forth more than regret.

Product Description

In the tradition of metaphysical poets, Rivolta gathers concrete, yet evocative impressions - images based on the sea and sailing, mountains and meadows, music and smells - to ask questions about the purpose of life and what it means to be human. Prose poems alternate with lyrical verses to cover a range of subjects, including work, spirituality, romantic relationships and love, from a variety of perspectives. Analyzing feelings and desire, he offers sly and profound musings to the dilemmas we all face in the quiet, reflective moments of our lives. Above all he affirms the beauty and joy of existence we can all experience on our earthly journey, if we take the time to bypass excessive rationality and trust our intuition and sensory perceptions.
