Averno, a crater lake in southern Italy, was for the Romans the entrance to the underworld, both gateway and impassable barrier between the living and the dead. This collection shows Averno as the only source of heat and light in a world turned to icy winter. Both epic and intimate in scope, it explores the enduring drama of love and death.

The future of poetry

Cláudia

The new found noble winner in literature goes without needing introduction. Her work is conjunction of modernity and myth, following the likes of Plath, Atwood and Sexton. Gluck's poems are weirdly relatable; her unusual metaphorical method shoots straight to the heart but the wound gives nothing but pleasure.
