The Shadows of Mount Rosa is the first full-length English translation of poetry of Franco Buffoni, who over the past two decades has become one of the best-known and most highly regarded contemporary Italian poets. It contains sixty poems drawn from all six of Buffoni's books, with emphasis on his most recent - and most accessible - work. It also includes a translation of his essay "My Work in Poetry," which he has updated for this edition. Ranging from four lines to four pages, from lyrical tenderness to caustic wit, combining traditional poetic values with striking originality, these poems will appeal to a broad spectrum of readers.
