We are pleased to present a very special literary event. Join us for the Rome launch of "La Poesia di Carol Shields," a bilingual English/Italian collection of the poetry of the award-winning, late Canadian writer Carol Shields. Translated and curated by Nella Cotrupi, the collection brings a major Canadian voice to Italy. “These translations are a bridge between an extraordinary writer and a linguistic community that has not yet had full access to her most distilled voice.” The collection is published by I Quaderni del Bardo Edizioni di Stefano Donno.
Also presenting at the same event will be the Canadian-Italian writer Genni Gunn, who will discuss her latest book "The Cipher," a historical novel of secrets and lies, spies and lovers, which takes place during the Second World War.
Speakers will include the author/editor Nella Cotrupi, writer Genni Gunn, and publisher Stefano Donno.
When: Tuesday, May 26, 2026
Time: 5:30-7:30 p.m.
Where: Private residence (Corso Trieste area). Exact details will be sent to registered participants.
