The title itself, Crossing Bridges, thus seeks to lay an ideal bridge across the Atlantic Ocean in an original attempt at global communication.
Three short stories and nine poems which cover various topics, but which have one thing in common: Tanzj's relationship with the United States, and in particular with New York, starting with the New York Public Library (in the short story by the same name, inspired by the tragic vicissitudes of the young Italian immigrant Pascal D'Angelo) which, as John Ordman writes, "encapsulates the essence of these qualities" as a fundamental reference point for international literature.
Stories and poems written at different times, which nevertheless pursue one another through narrative realism and dreamlike visions, like, for example, in The Vibrant, or in the poetic tributes to Bob Dylan (Un??nished Poem For Old Bob) and Allen Ginsberg (Bye Bye Allen), representing Tanzj's connection to American literature.
And finally crossing the bridges once more, from Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome to theBrooklyn Bridge in New York.
