Founded on fear of invasion and hope for refuge, Venice becomes a warning symbol of imperial arrogance and ambition. The waters of the lagoon and the fragility of the city mirror the relevance of the ephemeral in themes such as departure from and return to home. On the one hand, the vanishings that take place are interior and exterior, literal and figurative, with the differences between often blurred, while on the other, the religious art of this city remains a transcendent expression of its history, one that at its best always remembers Unde Origo Inde Salus, \"Salvation is in the Origin.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDirector of Wake Forest University Press and professor of English at WFU in North Carolina, Jefferson Holdridge is the author of three previous volumes of poetry: \u003ci\u003eEruptions\u003c\/i\u003e (2013) and \u003ci\u003eDevil's Den and Other Poems \u003c\/i\u003e(2015), and \u003ci\u003eThe Sound Thereof\u003c\/i\u003e (2017).
