"By Now (Ormai)"By now the primrose and the warmthat your feet and
the green insight of the world The uncovered carpetsthe loggias
shaken by wind and suntranquil worm of the thorny woods;my distant
pain, distinct thirstlike another life in the breast Here all
that's left is to wrap the landscape around the selfand turn your
back. Andrea Zanzotto is widely considered Italy's most influential
living poet. He has published more than twenty collections of
poetry and prose, which cover a vast range of themes, from
linguistics and nature to politics and science. A lifelong resident
of the hilly farm country of the Veneto, he possesses a rare
familiarity with place, and his writings frequently explore the
ongoing tensions between nature and culture in his native village,
the surrounding countryside, and the nearby remnants of ancient
forests. The rare writer in Italy to straddle both historical and
geographical boundaries, Zanzotto also speaks in a voice that
acknowledges Italy's dramatic transformation from an agrarian
society to an industrialized nation. The first comprehensive
collection in thirty years to translate this master European poet
for an English-speaking audience, "The Selected Poetry and Prose of
Andrea Zanzotto "includes the very best poems from fourteen of
Zanzotto's major books of verse and a selection of thirteen essays
that helps illuminate themes in his poetry as well as elucidate key
theoretical underpinnings of his thought. Assembled with the
collaboration of Zanzotto himself and featuring a critical
introduction, thorough annotations, and a generous selection of
photographs and art, "The Selected Poetry and Prose of Andrea
Zanzotto" will be a major event for bothAmerican and Italian
letters.
