Silvia Comoglio's sequence of sixteen poems, and the insightful essay that accompanies them, probe the puzzling coexistence of light and darkness, and love and cruelty, reflecting on how every end holds a new beginning, how a flower may often bloom in any unspeakable wound.

She shows us how, throughout the turbulence of our lives, regardless of our beliefs, the image of crucifixion and resurrection remains firmly on the horizon like a star shedding hopeful light on humanity, time, and history.
