Description
The poems of Patrizia de Rachewiltz鈥檚 Trespassing invite us directly into the world of dreams. Confusing the tangible with the ethereal, the reflections of objects with the voices of the spectral, this collection encourages us to hover between, to breach the walls of reality. At the same time we encounter a ghost, our bare feet remind us of the ground. Just as we reach for shadows in the night, we are reminded of the light that banishes them. That we are always moving through time, passing in and out of our real and imagined landscapes, is precisely the idea. Trespassing reminds us of that very elemental truth about dreaming鈥攚e dream alone. The poems suggest that in the fragmented, often dangerous worlds of our unconscious, we become trespassers in our own minds.
