This new collection, Dear Dante, is her response to Dante's epic poem: 39 poems (13 for each of the 3 canticles), plus an additional 3 to serve as prologue and epilogue, all written in the poetic forms Dante loved best: the sonnet and the form he invented, terza rima. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In O'Donnell's words: \"Dear Dante is a species of accompaniment, an act of homage, and a long love letter to Dante. It might also be read as a series of meditations that attest to how dear Dante is to us. The Commedia is our inheritance, a gift granted to readers by our brother poet 700 years ago. These poems are an admittedly small expression of gratitude for that grand and graced gift. Grazie Mille, Maestro.\" \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Paraclete Press (MA)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45127448789143,"sku":"9781640609372","price":1387.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781640609372.webp?v=1768553837","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/dear-dante-9781640609372","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
