Roma - Softcover

In Roma, Bernard Saint follows the shade of Marcus Aurelius through the river of passing events' in the Eternal City. There they encounter Gregory Corso, Chet Baker, Jane Birkin, and Serge Gainsbourg; they walk down the catwalk, watch Reality TV, and guide a rock-star into rehab. This is a book about a city where time never walks in a straight line. It is a book about imagination and history, accidents and architecture, faces and frescoes; a river where past, present, and future meet.

Bernard Saint was born in Cheshire in 1950. His poetry has been published in magazines and anthologies since the 1960s. Previous books include Testament of the Compass and Illuminati. He has worked as an Arts Psychotherapist and Group Therapist in the NHS and is a member of the Jungian Guild of Pastoral Psychology and the Group Analytic Society. He lives in Bedford.
