Though known primarily as a sculptor and painter, Michelangelo was
also a poet. In his lifetime, Michelangelo wrote over 300 poems,
many of which were works of devotion and love poems of a spiritual
and mystical nature. In 1961, Joseph Tusiani offered the first
English translations of the complete corpus of Michelangelo's
poems. These translations illuminated the subtleties of both the
source and target language, giving Michelangelo's verse a
freshness, a depth, and an inventiveness that time has not been
able to obscure. The Complete Poems of Michelangelo reproduces
Tusiani's masterful translation. In addition to Tusiani's
introduction and translations, this new edition contains
Michelangelo's original Italian poetry, a chronology of his life
and works, a biographical profile of Tusiani, and an interview with
Tusiani exploring his musings on classic literature and the subtle
art of translation. The Complete Poems of Michelangelo sheds light
on Tusiani's many exceptional accomplishments during his long and
prolific life as a scholar, poet, translator, and artist.
