The Coastguard's House by Eugenio Montale
Italian poems with parallel English versions by Jeremy Reed. A Poetry Book Society Translation Award winner. Montale won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1975. Born in Genoa in 1889, he achieved sudden fame during the 1920s when his pessimistic poetry caught the mood of Italy in the culturally sterile years following WWI.
Spontaneous naturalness.. the product of that exquisite and sure tact which is consummate art... Montale is as truly sophisticated as a major artist can be. That sophistication is apparent in the wit, irony and humour that intensify the effect of profound seriousness characterising his poetry... We have nothing like it in English. -- F.R. Leavis
