The Poetry of Burchiello: Deep-fried Nouns, Hunchbacked Pumpkins,
and Other Nonsense is the first complete English translation of the
poetry of Domenico di Giovanni, nicknamed il Burchiello (ca.
1404-1449). A highly influential Florentine poet of the fifteenth
century, and a barber by trade, Burchiello composed poetry that
inspired numerous imitators and influenced writers for centuries
afterwards. Ironically, however, he specialized in a nonsensical
style that destabilized semantic meaning and that continues to
baffle readers. In this bilingual edition of Burchiello's poetry,
Fabian Alfie and Aileen A. Feng attempt to render Burchiello's
non-sensical poetry into readable English while maintaining the
experimental spirit of the original.
