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
