This fascinating book isn't just a gathering of brilliant poems by some of Italy's finest writers. It explores attitudes to landscape, and what Italians call their paese, meaning both 'my town, my village, the countryside I come from' as well as the country as a whole. It's about liking a hill-walk (Leopardi) or hating the loneliness of country places (Belli); about landscape as sex-object (Ariosto) or moral stage-set (Tasso), as a place for visions (D'Annunzio) or nostalgia (Pascoli); about a spring that recalls national history (Carducci) and a holy place that reminds us foreigners are human too (Giusti). Through poems or excerpts from the greatest Italian poems, this tragical-comical-historical-pastoral book presents a view of Europe's changing attitudes to the stuff under all our feet, from the bright and traditional Middle Ages into this gloomy and personal century. The poems, chosen by Alistair Elliot, are printed opposite his translations. There are also helpful notes on Italian verse technique and on points of obscurity.

"Fellini rebuilt his dreams amid memories within the fictional world of prose theatre, while the Tavianis create their dreams in nature by transforming the Tuscan countryside, famous cities, churches, cottages and squares into a boundless stage. The trip through places in Italy from the Sicily of Kaos to the Tuscan Night of San Lorenzo becomes a unique and inimitable experience. The great Renaissance pictoral tradition, the melodramatic musical world, the neorealistic cinematographic period have awakened new feelings in Tavianis' films which contributed to their works a tremendous pathos and desperate poetry." "Their cinema was built according to the famous tradition of Italian craftsmanship just like in the old workshops of the by-gone Renaissance. The care of every intricate detail from the scenography to the costumes, from the music to the film editing, contribute to the creation of highly valued works of art. The search for truth and simplicity are the key points around which this poetic world revolves. Through the poetry of the scenery, this book tries to penetrate the fascinating world which has created unforgetable creations, where personal history fuses with that of the community, where dream and utopia remain the secret hope in a world filled with pain and solitude. The poetry of our lives: the lights of Tuscany, the stones of Sardinia, the colours of Sicily are essential elements to compose a rich harmonious symphony and find eventual new paths."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The most comprehensive collection in English of the founder of modern Italian poetry Giovanni Pascoli (1855–1912)—the founder of modern Italian poetry and one of Italy's most beloved poets—has been compared to Robert Frost for his evocation of natural speech, his bucolic settings, and the way he bridges poetic tradition and the beginnings of modernism. Featuring verse from throughout his career, and with the original Italian on facing pages, Selected Poems of Giovanni Pascoli is a comprehensive and authoritative collection of a fascinating and major literary figure. Reading this poet of nature, grief, and small-town life is like traveling through Italy's landscapes in his footsteps—from Romagna and Bologna to Rome, Sicily, and Tuscany—as the country transformed from an agrarian society into an industrial one. Mixing the elevated diction of Virgil with local slang and the sounds of the natural world, these poems capture sense-laden moments: a train's departure, a wren's winter foraging, and the lit windows of a town at dusk. Incorporating revolutionary language into classical scenes, Pascoli's poems describe ancient rural dramas—both large and small—that remain contemporary. Framed by an introduction, annotations, and a substantial chronology, Taije Silverman and Marina Della Putta Johnston's translations render the variety, precision, and beauty of Pascoli's poetry with a profoundly current vision.

Gilbert Highet was a legendary teacher at Columbia University, admired both for his scholarship and his charisma as a lecturer. Poets in a Landscape is his delightful exploration of Latin literature and the Italian landscape. As Highet writes in his introduction, “I have endeavored to recall some of the greatest Roman poets by describing the places were they lived, recreating their characters and evoking the essence of their work.” The poets are Catullus, Vergil, Propertius, Horace, Tibullus, Ovid, and Juvenal. Highet brings them life, setting them in their historical context and locating them in the physical world, while also offering crisp modern translations of the poets’ finest work. The result is an entirely sui generis amalgam of travel writing, biography, criticism, and pure poetry—altogether an unexcelled introduction to the world of the classics.

The long enterprise of seeking poetic talent and the promotion of poetry that Pordenonelegge started about ten years ago, has long resulted in actual support with the publication of 4 books of poetry a year in occasion of the festival. Year after year we have presented 20 new or up-and-coming authors, whom we followed for the duration of the entire year. Half of these poets are under 35 and, overall, they mirror the landscape of Italian poetry under 40. Different are the geographical origins, the poetics, and the intonations of these poetic voices, which, thanks to these volumes, have received a certain recognition, reviews, and prizes. An anthology that presents them to a new public in a different language, with ten poems for each author, an introduction, and a few biobibliographical notes, seems today the crowning achievement of so much commitment and passion.

Payne pays particular attention to poets of the fifties and sixties, futurists, and female poets. She notes that the futurists, who have rarely been translated, were particularly important as they were truly original, attempting to develop new notions of word, line, sound, and phrase. Such new notions make translating them particularly challenging. She also offers a large sampling from poets of the fifties and sixties, many of whom have won the Viareggio Prize. Poems by women in this volume reflect diverse schools and directions while maintaining a distinctly female voice.
