| Summary: | "With On the News that Sagittarius A* Grows Hungrier Nicola Vulpe returns to what he calls the central question of poetry and of our existence: What does it mean to be human? Written for the most part during the first, dark years of the Covid pandemic, the poems of this collection bring the poet's lens to everything from the lot of a slave crossing the Alps with Hannibal, to King Leopold of Belgium's rape of the Congo, to the loneliness of a street emptied by Covid such that there is nowhere left even to cry."-- |
