Brown Cloth Hardback. Condition: Very Good Plus. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 1972. First edition. Lucio Piccolo di Calanovella (1901-1969) was an Italian poet. He was first-degree cousin to Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, the author of The Leopard, and endowed himself with a vast library and mastered the major languages of the European literary tradition, while living a life of relative solitude. This collection of his poems, translated and edited by Brian Swann and Ruth Feldman, also contains a foreword by Glauco Cambon and an afterword by Eugenio Montale. The book is bound in the original light brown cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine. The case of the book is in very good condition with bumping to the top of the spine. The contents are tight and clean with no inscription. The unclipped dustwrapper has some shelf wear with rubbing to the corner tips and bumping and nicks to the spine ends.
