The scecond book – which slots smartly into the inside cover of the first, larger book – features Pasolini’s epic autobiographical poem “Poet of Ashes”, in a revised translation by esteemed poet Stephen Sartarelli, showcasing Pasolini’s deeply moving poetry while reflecting back powerfully on his staggering, scandal-filled life.
