Beschreibung

From one of Italy's most widely read and deeply treasured poets: an essential collection of verse, selected from all five of his major works, bringing this unique, mesmerizing voice to an English-speaking audience for the first time. Whether writing of his snowy home in the Italian alps, of his beloved father, of his extended circle of friends and family, Pierluigi Cappello comes to the reader with his all-embracing spirit, a tenderness and generosity expressed in an everyday language that defies its own simplicity, and a serene clarity that recalls the lyrical work of W. S. Merwin and Wis¿awa Szymborska. Beginning with his masterful Go Tell It to the Emperor, this selection moves backward toward Cappello's early work and closes with a "coda" of poems from the last years of his short life. The victim of a motorbike accident at age sixteen, which severed his spine and left him paralyzed from the waist down, Cappello is a poet of extraordinary resilience, who gazes out on the world with patience and persistence, summoning it with language, refusing to let it drift.
