Andrea Zanzotto is widely considered Italy's most influential living poet. The first comprehensive collection in thirty years to translate this master European poet for an English-speaking audience, "The Selected Poetry and Prose of Andrea Zanzotto" 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. Assembled with the collaboration of Zanzotto himself and featuring a critical introduction, thorough annotations, and a generous selection of photographs and art, this volume brings an Italian master to vivid life for American readers.
"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"
