The Selected Poetry and Prose of Andrea Zanzotto by Andrea Zanzotto
Andrea Zanzotto is widely considered Italy's most influential living poet. This book includes the very best poems from fourteen of his major books of verse and a selection of thirteen essays that helps illuminate themes in his poetry as well as elucidate key theoretical underpinnings of his thought.
"This massive, handsomely designed, and copiously illustrated volume is the best possible introduction to Zanzotto's work, giving as it does an excellent impression of the scale of his achievement" - Choice "Now, in this book, American readers can get a just sense of Zanzotto's true range and extraordinary originality." - Eric Ormsby, New York Sun "What I love here is the sense of a voice directly speaking. Throughout these translations, indeed from early to late, the great achievement seems to be the way they achieve a sense of urgent address." - Eamon Grennan, American Poet"
Patrick Barron is assistant professor of English at the University of Massachusetts - Boston. He is the recipient of a Fulbright Award, the Rome Prize, and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts for the translation of the poetry of Andrea Zanzotto.
