X is a work that intertwines poetry, lyrical prose, and imagery in an artistic and cultural dialogue between Italy and the United States, places that are central to the lives of the two authors. Its title evokes the form of the chiasmus—the figure of the intersection and correspondence. X is a space of crossing, where languages, identities, and geographies meet and transform. The volume unfolds as a continuous dialogue between word and photography, building a narrative that reflects on the contemporary condition of mobility, belonging, and the redefinition of the self.
