Description
One of the most important Italian poets of the last century, Vittorio Sereni (1913 83) wrote with a historical awareness unlike that of any of his contemporaries. A poet of both personal and political responsibility, his work sensitively explores life under fascism, military defeat and imprisonment, and the resurgence of extreme right-wing politics, as well as the roles played by love and friendship in the survival of humanity.The first substantial translation of Sereni s oeuvre published anywhere in the world, "The Selected Poetry and Prose of Vittorio Sereni" is a unique guide to this twentieth-century poet. A bilingual edition, reissued in paperback for the poet s centenary, it collects Sereni s poems, criticism, and short fiction with a full chronology, commentary, bibliography, and learned introduction by British poet and scholar Peter Robinson.
