'Two hours ago I fell in love and trembled, and tremble still, and
haven't a clue whom I should tell' From one of the truly singular
and beloved poets of contemporary Italy, these are poems of the
self, the body, pasta, cats, the city and - always, and above all -
love. This volume is the first substantial gathering of the best of
Patrizia Cavalli's work from her first six collections, from 1974
to 2006, translated by a selection of renowned poets. By turns
thoughtful and sly, sensual and comic, charismatic and profound,
these are works perfectly attuned to the pleasures and pains of
everyday life and love. 'The most intensely ethical poetry in
Italian literature of the twentieth century' Giorgio Agamben
'Amazingly fresh and surprising. The world does change, in the
telling' John Ashbery Edited by Gini Alhadeff
