Singing About Melon

Singing About Melon opens with a call for silence: 'Silenzio'. This is the self-defeating shout of the guards in the Basilica of St Francis in Assisi, where several of the poems are placed. It is a call that echoes through this collection, playing with sense and nonsense, the sayable and the unsayable, as well as the saying that un-says.
