The first English translation of an Italian poet known for his
uncompromising integrity and strong leftist sympathy for the
working man. Â Born in a sub-proletarian ghetto in Italy in
1930 under the fascist regime, Luigi Di Ruscio was an urchin
running wild in the countryside, a Communist with clear anarchist
leanings, a jack-of-all-trades. In 1957 he emigrated to Oslo, where
he worked for forty years in a steel-wire factory, spending his
evenings at the typewriter, delving with furious energy into his
native Italian. Di Ruscio insisted that whereas the language of
power is always a contrived, one-way fabrication, the language of
the underprivileged is upfront and direct, aiming straight and
sharp for the truth. Caustic as a shopfloor scouring agent,
exhilarating in its overabundance, humor, and outspokenness,
Selected Poems stands as a testament of tenacity, a record of class
struggle, and a vital presence for our times. Â
