Pier della Francesco’s paintings transformed into poetry

Pier della Francesco was an Italian painter of the Early Renaissance. Mrs. Dana Prescott edited and introduced the anthology called "Feathers from the Angel's Wing" which features poems inspired by the paintings of Pier della Francesco. Mongolian poet G.Mend-Ooyo’s wrote a poem "The Pregnant Madonna" during his residency at the Civitella castle in Umbria, Italy in 2014.  The poem was included in the anthology and he was invited to read the poem at the book launch held at the the Notre Dame University in Rome. At the event, he gifted a copy of his latest novel "Shiliin Bogd"  (The Sacred Mountain), to the library of the Civitella Rainery Foundation in which he completed the last chapter of the novel. 

About Feathers from the Angel’s Wing:
