literature and fiction,poetry, Although Eugenio Montale is one of the indisputably great poets of the 20th century--and among the most deserving of Nobel laureates--he's never quite entered the pantheon for many English-speaking readers. Perhaps William Arrowsmith's supple new translation of Satura will help to remedy the situation. First published in Italian in 1971, the volume dates from the last decade of the poet's life. Yet there's a strong argument to be made that this playful, improvisatory sequence, which Montale meant to be read straight through, is the place to begin reading his work. A quarter-century after its first appearance, Satura remains so canny, and so tuned in to the Zeitgeist, that it could have been written yesterday. The nomenclature of the electronic age may have changed, for example, but that doesn't keep us from responding to Montale's witty and rueful ambivalence about technological progress in "Late at Night": "There's no conversing with shades / on the telephone. / No loudspeaker or mike boom / appears in our mute dialogues." The volume also contains "Xenia," one of the most painful, incisive, and moving poems ever written about married love. Montale addressed his earlier books to the Petrarchan figure of "Clizia"--a composite of an ideal woman and a real one, the American scholar Irma Brandeis. Here, in "Xenia," he addresses his dead wife, Mosca: Your arm in mine, I've descended a million stairs at least, and now that you're not he.

A strong, idiomatic translation of Italy's greatest modern poet. Eugenio Montale is universally recognized as having brought the great Italian lyric tradition that began with Dante into the twentieth century with unrivaled power and brilliance. Montale is a love poet whose deeply beautiful, individual work confronts the dilemmas of modern history, philosophy, and faith with courage and subtlety; he has been widely translated into English and his work has influenced two generations of American and British poets. Jonathan Galassi's versions of Montale's major works Ossi di seppia, Le occasioni, and La bufera e altro are the clearest and most convincing yet, and his extensive notes discuss in depth the sources and difficulties of this dense, allusive poetry. This book offers English-language readers uniquely informed and readable access to the work of one of the greatest of all modern poets.
