The poems in The Blue Rose of Venice create an engaging travel narrative, describing in precise detail the experiences of the poet and translator, Thomas Rain Crowe, and his wife, Nan, as they arrive, explore, and finally depart Venice, Italy. Their surprises become the reader’s surprises and their delights, the reader’s delights. Together the poems in this volume offer a new and personal vision of a city that has captivated artists and writers for centuries.
