Dialect Poetry of Southern Italy (Italian Poetry in Translation Book 2)

(toil, unemployment, inequality, injustice) or

the depiction of the Salento landscape with

strong mythical-symbolical tints, following

the tradition that from Vittorio Bodini harks

back to Spanish poetry.

Homecoming and estrangement, identity

and reference to otherness, in an itinerary

that goes from town to land, from land to

world. In a play of mirrors that can be seen

as a disillusioned and desperate warning

about life, a spendthrift and mendacious

nothingness, about the absurdity of History,

this treasure that blossomed in the

childhood of man.
