Attilio Bertolucci was one of Italy's greatest modern poets. This
book is the first English edition of his poetry. His translator
Charles Tomlinson was known internationally as one of the most
distinguished modern English poets: his poems were described by
Hugh Kenner as 'among the best in the English language in this
century'. Born in 1911, Attilio Bertolucci published his first book
of poems at the age of 18. His second, published in 1934, was
recognised and favourably reviewed by Eugenio Montale. There
followed a period of silence, broken in 1951 by The Indian Wigwam,
which won the Viareggio Prize. He published two other books in the
early 50s, but no more poetry until Winter Journey in 1971, his
most boldly experimental as well as his most mature book. He also
published two bestselling volumes of a novel in verse, La camera da
letto, a kind of family history about his parents and childhood,
and his love for Ninetta, the mother of Giuseppe and Bernardo
Bertolucci, his two film-director sons. A frequent cause of
pleasure and also disquiet in Bertolucci's poetry is his sense of
time, the calm fire of the days. The critic Paolo Lagazzi speaks of
Bertolucci, although slowly bleeding to death because wounded by
time, as also drawing from time 'all the gifts, colours,
sweetnesses still possible - while darkness and winter advance
without truce'. Italian-English bilingual edition.
