New
Italian Poets, co-edited with
Michael Palma, was published by Story
Line Press, 1991.
Winner
of the 1992 American Literary Translators Association Award
for distinguished poetic translation, Publishers Weekly
called this bilingual anthology "an important contribution
to contemporary Italian poetry in translation. . . What generally
characterizes these works are their intellectual commitment
and philosophical depth."
"For anyone who wishes to find out, or find
out more, about contemporary Italian poetry, this book is an
excellent place to start." Poetry Review
(U.K)
"This
book is worth its value in good old greenbacks for just Dana
Gioia's introduction, let alone for the three hundred pages
of contemporary poetry up to now not known in the United States."
Peter Russell, Chronicles
"Quest'opera
antologica rende soprattutto omaggio a una tradizione poetica
che vanta origini illustri, tuttora fiorenti e proiettate verso
nuovi orizzonti." Massimo Maggiari, Annali d'Italianistica
