Description:
On a journey to Madrid, Gene Frumkin and Alvaro Cardona-Hine decided to collaborate on a collection of poetry written about and in various parts of the world while tapping into their sources of inspiration and basic existential concerns. Guided by their respective muses, Frumkin and Cardona-Hine produced The Curvature of the Earth, a volume that enhances their contrasting styles and celebratory views of existence. The Curvature of the Earth contains poems written in Holland, Spain, Tuscany, and Hawai'i, and commemorates the collaborative power of two poets at the height of their talents.
