"In Piccolo's poems we meet a Sicily latent in the country of the
tourist guides and the history books, but it was Piccolo far more
than, say, his cousin Lampedusa, who was destined to draw out the
latencies, read the signatures, crack the code...These brilliant
translations will serve to introduce a whole new sensibility to
Anglo-American readers."--Anthony Burgess "Faithfulness, a loving
adherence, a communion with and an entering into the spirit of the
original are what we look for in a translation. We find these
qualities abundantly in this rendering of Lucio Piccolo's poetry by
Brian Swarm and Ruth Feldman. And we find yet more: a welcome
clarification, for though Piccolo's poetry--one that tries to
capture in a subtle web the atmosphere of a bygone world--is not
obscure or oblique, yet, like all significant poetry, it is here
and there open to a number of interpretations. Swann's and
Feldman's translation, or interpretation, seems to me always
felicitous and intelligent."--Arturo Vivante Originally published
in 1973. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
