by Mario Luzi (Author)

Back Jacket

The Italian Mario Luzi is one of today's leading poets. In a career spanning forty years, he has produced a body of work comparable to Auden's in its philosophical depth and mastery of the craft. Recently some of his poems have appeared in leading literary periodicals. Now for the first time, in sensitive and sharply realized translations by I.L. Salomon, a substantial selection of Luxi's poetry is made accessible to the American public.
