Following a childhood and adolescence spent in exile from Fascist Italy between France, England, and the United States, Rosselli was driven to express the hopes and devastations of the postwar epoch through her demanding and defamiliarizing lines. Rosselli's trilingual body of work synthesizes a hybrid literary heritage stretching from Dante and the troubadours through Ezra Pound and John Berryman, in which playful inventions across Italian, English, and French coexist with unadorned social critique. In a period dominated by the confessional mode, Rosselli aspired to compose stanzas characterized by a new objectivity and collective orientation, \"where the I is the public, where the I is things, where the I is the things that happen.\" Having chosen Italy as an \"ideal fatherland,\" Rosselli wrote searching and often discomposing verse that redefined the domain of Italian poetics and, in the process, changed the Italian language irrevocably. This collection, the first to bring together a generous selection of her poems and prose in English and in translation, is enhanced by an extensive critical introduction and notes by translator Jennifer Scappettone. Equipping readers with the context necessary for appreciating Rosselli's experimental approach to language, Locomotrix seeks to introduce English-language readers to this crucial, if still eclipsed, voice of the twentieth century.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50510481883409,"sku":"GOR013978934","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51073072660753,"sku":"GOR012991334","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0226728838.jpg?v=1750940860"},{"product_id":"fratelli-minori-book-amelia-rosselli-9781021233356","title":"Fratelli minori","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51154932760849,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51154934563089,"sku":"NIN9781021233356","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1021233358.jpg?v=1750918209"},{"product_id":"el-socio-del-papa-book-amelia-rosselli-9781021001900","title":"El Socio Del Papa","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51192228020497,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51192231100689,"sku":"NIN9781021001900","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1021001902.jpg?v=1750708677"},{"product_id":"fratelli-minori-book-amelia-rosselli-9781019461655","title":"Fratelli minori","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51256682316049,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51256684871953,"sku":"NIN9781019461655","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1019461659.jpg?v=1751142620"},{"product_id":"document-book-amelia-rosselli-9781954218291","title":"Document","description":"The pivotal 1976 work of one of Italy's most significant post-war voices asks how poetry can document lived experience while dialoguing with the Petrarchan sonnet tradition. Long fascinated by the classical sonnet as an ideal model, Rosselli took on the Petrarchan structure of a canzoniere -- a text in which meaning is generated by sequence -- to contain the flood of 175 poems for her third collection. Speaking of DOCUMENT, Rosselli said: \"It was hard work; those who do not write poetry cannot imagine to what lengths poets go in order to compose, even if they barely scrape by, and even if it's still the case that poetry is either inspired or worthless.\" This \"hard work\" conveyed the pain, intensity, and turmoil of her existence and of our own violent chaotic times. Originally published in 1976, DOCUMENT is the last of her major collections to be translated into English.  ||  \"I think the great anti-fascist poet Amelia Rosselli has always been in a 'lockdown' mode of existence. DOCUMENT documents Rosselli's internal well, an echo chamber-she orchestrates the signals of global turmoil of war, violence, class struggle, religion, consumerism, financial capitalism. Nothing goes amiss inside her chamber. Rosselli's oblique, taut, and mocking entries pile up relentlessly -- they make up an anti-fascist soliloquy that also echoes the 'lockdown' of our current troubled era.\" --DON MEE CHOI  ||  \"Amelia Rosselli is one of the towering poets of the twentieth century, so we owe immense gratitude to Roberta Antognini \u0026amp; Deborah Woodard for bringing Documento, Rosselli's third book, to an anglophone public in full for the first time, in a sharp translation with helpful notes. Less overtly biting and difficult than Rosselli's previous work-at least at first-these barbed lyrics will initiate new readers into her mind-bending oeuvre. As she writes at the start, 'in the end I wrote beautiful things, all of them \/ for you.' Yes: that means you.\" --BARRY SCHWABSKY || Italian Literature. Poetry. Women Writers.
