Montale's incandescently beautiful poetry is deeply rooted in the
venerable lyric tradition that began with Dante, but he brilliantly
reinvents that tradition for our time, probing the depths of love,
death, faith and philosophy in the bracing light of modern history.
Montale's poems teem with allusion and metaphor but at the same
time are densely studded with concrete images that keep his complex
musings firmly tethered to the world. Montale's reputation is
international and enduring, and he has influenced generations of
poets around the world. This volume contains selections from all
his greatest works, rendered into English by the accomplished poet
and translator Jonathan Galassi. It serves as both an essential
introduction to an important poet and a true pleasure for lovers of
contemporary poetry.
