Action [poems]

ACTION — as in begin, genesis, motion — is a collection of poems ultimately concerned with form, those lines drawn in the sand that give way to the profanity of the holy, the holiness of the profane.

A Boy Asleep under the Sun: Versions of Sandro Penna

Peter Valente’s first encounter with Sandro Penna’s poetry was while translating Pier Paolo Pasolini. At the time, Valente was reading a biography on Pasolini and learned of his close friendship with Penna. Pasolini insisted that among serious readers of poetry, Penna could not be ignored.

As such, it is an encounter with an indeterminable Other, an Other who is other…

Thanks to Carmen Callil and other trailblazing feminist publishers, a canon of women’s literature emerged, and living writers managed to survive and sometimes thrive in a literary marketplac…

Works

THESE trifles are collected and republished chiefly with a view to their redemption from the many improvements to which they have been subjected while going at random "the rounds of the press." I am naturally anxioi-- that what I have written should circulate as I wrote it, if it circulate at all. In defence of my own taste, nevertheless, it is in cumbent upon me to say that I think nothing in …
