Majella: Poems from a Mountain Home
Majella: Poems from a Mountain Home illuminates the Abruzzo spine of Italy through poetry as Sean Prentiss explores Majella Wilderness. Majella takes readers into Prentiss’s travels in Italy, the craggy Apennine Mountains, and the Majella Wilderness.
Majella Poems evokes the ineffable—a visceral realization that we are part of, rather than apart from, the processes and places of the planet that sustain us. Through the compelling poetic story of a gathering of artists, writers, scientists, and wilderness activists in Italy's Abruzzo Mountains in 2019, Prentiss inspires readers to find their diverse communities with which to ‘become / one / river / running.’ Just as the poet finds ‘salvation / closest to / the earth,’ so the reader will find solace in this tribute to the unifying power of the wild world.
