BOOK PRESENTATION

Compose Ourselves/Comporci by Allison Grimaldi Donahue

18.04.2026

h. 6.30 - 8.30 pm

The publication Compose Ourselves/Comporci, released by Edizioni Ensemble, is a collection of poems that brings together years of study and writing. As an anglophone poet often working with the Italian language, Grimaldi Donahue will reflect on how this book came into being, and on the tensions and possibilities of carrying poetry across languages and contexts.

The presentation will take place in dialogue with Graziano Mazza, director of the “Fatto Umano” collection by Edizioni Ensemble dedicated to contemporary poetry, and the book’s translator.

During the event there will be a performative reading of the texts in their original language and in their Italian translation.

The event will be held in Italian and English.
