Perre, J: Carmina


en Hardback – 25 noi 2020
Siena Press presents "CARMINA: The Nomad Odes?, the follow-up collection of poetry from poet Juan-Paolo Perre, author of the Legacy Poetry Prize-winning book, "A Confederacy of Joy". A highly-anticipated collection of lyric poetry issuing forth from the spiritual and geographic nomad, the restless seeker, the human being, sometimes exalted and other times unworthy and disappointing; negotiating the journey of his emotional and intellectual lives and the dilemma of confronting those parts of him against the unforgivingly stark and concrete world in which we live and in spite of it all, insistent on somehow finding hope and transcendent beauty in everything.
Taking a cue from the beloved poet, Pablo Neruda (to whom this book is dedicated), Perre finds aching beauty in things both sacred and profane, universally exalted and the mundane commonplace - as subjects for each ode. In his deft treatment each ode becomes a song, a declaration, a chant, a truth set to the soul's music.

Notă biografică

Juan-Paolo Perre has lead an international and nomadic life which has become a resonating theme in all of his work. Living, as a child, in Siena, Italy, he then emigrated to London, England before returning as a young boy to New York City.

He began his polymathic career at age 7 as a musician and singer. He performed as a soloist with orchestra at age 10 which lead to an audition with renowned conductor/composer, Leonard Bernstein. Equally adept at the violin, he maintains an active career as a concert violinist, having performed in solo, chamber music and orchestral concerts worldwide.

A passion for theatre and film lead to his enrolment at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London. Within a year of returning to NYC, (and using his nom d'artiste, Adam Alexi-Malle) he made his Broadway début in Maury Yeston's "Titanic", participated in the films of Woody Allen and Sidney Lumet and the following season starred in the American première of British playwright/film director, Mike Leigh's play, "Goose-Pimples" which garnered him critical acclaim in an award-nominated performance. He later appeared on Broadway in the revival of "The Threepenny Opera" as well as continuing to star in numerous films including, "Bowfinger", "Hidalgo", and "The Man Who Wasn't There", and on television in "The Sopranos", "The West Wing" and "24".

He is a sought-after voice artist having lent his voice in film, television and as a narrator for Penguin/Random House Audio Books in titles such as "The Second Empress", "Letters from Skye" and "The Anatomy Lesson" and has just embarked on a major project where he is engaged as the voice of the celebrated French author, Alexandre Dumas, where all of the author's books will be recorded.

He attended the Interlochen Arts Academy, the Juilliard School and the universities of Wisconsin and Maryland earning a Bachelor's and Master's degrees. Doctoral and advanced graduate work continued at the Université de Paris, the Paris and Moscow Conservatories as well as the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London.

A recipient of numerous fellowships including the New York Philharmonic Scholarship, the Harriet Hale Woolley Fellowship in Paris and an Aerodyne Grant, his writing has previously appeared in numerous publications.

In 2013, he was awarded the Legacy Poetry Prize for his début collection of poetry, "A Confederacy of Joy: Poems". Adding to the mosaïc which is his artistic life, he was recently been appointed poetry editor of the literary magazine, "Il Palio Review."
