Synopsis
This vivid presentation of Campana demonstrates why Italian readers have cherished his poems since the first appearance of Canti Orfici in 1914. Charles Wright’s translation, Jonathan Galassi’s introduction, and, as afterword, Montale’s thoughtful essay on Campana, identify the heart of this poet’s achievement.

About the Author
In his brief life, Dino Campana (1885-1932) produced some of the most radical and pure moments of modern Italian literature. His work is comparable in some ways to what Rimbaud is for the French or Hart Crane for American poetry. The leading American poet Charles Wright, his translator, has won the National Book Award, the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize, among other honors.
