Penelope’s Web is a sophisticated dual-language collection, presented in both English and Italian, which invites readers into a world where mythology, metaphor, and personal reflection intertwine with striking clarity.
Stefania Lucchetti’s poems draw upon the timeless power of mythological figures, weaving together ancient narratives with the intimate textures of contemporary experience. Lucchetti’s verses explore the inner lives and legacies of godesses, gods, heroines, heroes, and mortals, revealing the profound emotional currents which connect their stories to modern existence.
Each poem becomes a meeting place between the mythic and the human, the universal and the intimate, Â where longing, resilience, transformation, and desire echo through time. Through her thoughtful and evocative language, Lucchetti illuminates the parallels between divine archetypes and everyday emotions, offering readers a lens through which myth becomes both mirror and metaphor.
