What would the Son-of-Man get up to in present-day Rome? Would he wander the Galleria Borghese; loiter outside nightclubs; ride trams; tip accordionists? How would Keats feel about the neon Dior sign that flashes away above the Spanish Steps? Are there ways to avoid Vespas on the sidewalks? Rules for carving a Pietagrave;? And exactly which painter is responsible for the ugliest Jesus in the history of Western Art?A tour of Rome like no other; the poems of Circus Maximus ask these questions and more. Join David Starkey as he shines a torch on the sights; sounds; mysteries and metaphors of the Eternal City.David Starkey is the former Poet Laureate of Santa Barbara; a senior Fulbright scholar; and a six-time nominee for the Pushcart Prize. His latest volume of poetry is A Few Things You Should Know About the Weasel (Biblioasis; 2010).
