Reviews
"This massive, handsomely designed, and copiously illustrated volume is the best possible introduction to Zanzotto's work, giving as it does an excellent impression of the scale of his achievement." - Choice "Now, in this book, American readers can get a just sense of Zanzotto's true range and extraordinary originality." - Eric Ormsby, New York Sun "What I love here is the sense of a voice directly speaking. Throughout these translations, indeed from early to late, the great achievement seems to be the way they achieve a sense of urgent address." - Eamon Grennan, American Poet"
