"Dance of the Equinox" by Floriana Ferro (English Edition)
Floriana Ferro s first collection of poems, Danza di Equinozi won the Italian national literary prize Cardinal Branda Castiglioni in 2011. Published now in English in her own translation, Dance of the Equinox explores the idea of poetry as means of cultural and political emancipation. In particular, these poems locate the author s sexual and political identity in a country still dominated by conservative and religious ideas about women and sexuality.
