Ryan Calabretta-Sajder is visiting assistant professor of Italian at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville.

If only for the breathtakingly magisterial essay by Millicent Marcus on Pasolini's long-misunderstood concept of "the cinema of poetry," or Van Watson's virtuostic take on the clash in both life and art between Pasolini's narcissistic eros and sacrificial death wish, this volume would have more than repaid the price of admission. But it contains much, much more: many additional new and quite original readings of Pasolini's poetry, theater, cinema, and civic engagement, gathered together with admirable passion and care by editor Ryan Calabretta-Sajder There are many gems herein, including interviews with the Roman street artist Omino71 and the grande dame of Italian letters Dacia Maraini, who knew and loved the irreplaceable Pasolini, as we go on trying to know his work but love it effortlessly and for good.
