Dino Campana wrote the unique, visionary masterwork of Italian
literature Orphic Songs when he was in his twenties. The
originality, rapturous language, and strange beauty of his poetry
make him as important to twentieth-century poetry as Garcia Lorca
or Mayakovsky. Campana was the wild man of Italian poetry in 1914,
on the eve of World War I. The war saved some young Italians from
rebellion and from Fascism, but not Campana. Always an outsider, he
was a vagabond who worked now and then as a gaucho, miner, fireman,
organ-grinder, janitor, circus tumbler, horse groomer, and a
wandering musician with a Gypsy band. He died in Castel Pulci, a
psychiatric hospital, in 1932.
