About this title

Synopsis

First English edition and translation of the works of Camillo Sbarbaro, leading twentieth-century Italian poet and prose writer.

About the Author

Camillo Sbarbaro (1888-1967), born in Santa Margherita Ligure, experimented with a hybrid form of poetry and prose that he called trucioli--"shavings." Some of the first were written in the trenches during World War I. Developing the form for more than fifty years, he published a complete set of these writings in a 400-page volume in the year before his death. The selections published in SHAVINGS: SELECTED PROSE POEMS, 1914-1940 are drawn from this corpus.
