JoAnna Novak

JoAnna Novak is a novelist and poet. Her latest book is Domestirexia.
West of Ponte Vecchio and the gold bridge spanning the Arno stands Palazzo Strozzi, refreshingly incognito. Constructed at the end of the fifteenth-century by Filippo Strozzi after his Medici-organized exile from Florence was lifted, it might just be another fifteenth-century palace surrounded by luxury boutiques and hotels—brassy Louis Vuitton out one door, stealth-wealth Celine out another—and not home to Florence’s most humane museum experience, Anselm Kiefer’s Angeli caduti.
