Postwar Italian poetry continues to uphold one of the world's most illustrious literary legacies, a tradition that values conflict and diversity as integral components. It is a poetry that vividly captures the social, psychological, and moral upheaval of the modern world, exhibiting an extraordinary intensity in its reflection. This anthology comprises substantial excerpts from the works of twenty-one of Italy's most influential contemporary poets, aimed at familiarizing the English-speaking world with this largely unexplored poetic realm. The introductory essay delves into the distinctive Italian ability to blend cultural and political struggles into literary form, as well as the profound impact of Italian poetry on the developments of European poetry throughout the twentieth century. This title is a part of UC Press' Voices Revived program, a celebration of UC Press' commitment to discovering and nurturing the brightest minds, providing them with a platform to express their ideas, reach a wider audience, and make meaningful contributions to the field. Voices Revived harnesses the power of print-on-demand technology to resurrect high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship from the backlist dating back to 1893, making it accessible once again to scholars and enthusiasts alike. Originally published in 1981, this title stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Italian poetry and its profound influence on the world of literature.
