UMBERTO PIERSANTI - SELECTED POEMS

 

 

UMBERTO PIERSANTI - SELECTED POEMS - 1967 - 1994 - TRASLATED BY EMANUEL DI PASQUALE

 





 

Piersanti is a narrative poet, in the ancient Italian tradition – his poems rich with a wisdom rarely found in contemporary American poetry. Deceptive simple, they are subtle poems that sing.

From the Introduction by Emanuel di Pasquale


Umberto Piersanti was born in Urbino in 1941. He is a poet, novelist, literary critic, and film director. His poetry books are La breve stagione (1967), Il tempo differente (1974), L’urlo della mente (1979), Nascere nel ’40 (1981), Passaggio di sequenza (1986), I luoghi persi (1994), and L’estate dell’altro millennio (2001). He has written two critical volumes: L’ambigua presenza (1980), and Sul limite d’ombra (1989). With Fabio Doplicher, he edited the anthology of poetry Il pensiero, Il corpo (1986). He has made a full-length film, L’età breve (1969-1970); three poem-films, Sulle cesane (1982), Un’altra estate (1988), Ritorno d’autunno (1988), and four visual studies on four poets for RAI.
