IL SENTIERO DELLE MORE: Antologia di saggi sulla poesia di Erminia Passannanti
INTRODUZIONE di William Hope In un'epoca come quella attuale di informazioni, interazioni e gratificazioni istantanee, generate dai media sociali e digitali, diventa oggi necessario un tipo distinto di impegno personale per esplorare la forma d'arte della poesia ed esserne arricchiti. Il processo comporta uno sforzo cosciente per ritirarsi temporaneamente dalle camere d'eco che rafforzano le nostre visioni del mondo e identità e un desiderio individuale di immergersi nel recondito e nell'inafferrabile. La poesia richiede una forma di impegno contraccambiato da poche delle concrete certezze interpretative fornite da altri tipi di arte. È una forma di responsabilità che chiede di allontanar...

Poem of the Roses
Erminia Passannanti's analysis is lucid even as she compiles the daunting number of references that Fortini drew on in writing this tour de force. Her critique winds through the eighteen meandering octaves (in seven sections or "fragments") to signal allusions to literary, ideological, and mytho-religious sources. Particularly apt are the critic's elucidation of Fortini's use of an expressionist style, one which was not his own but which he employed in order to critique a particular historical-poetic mode of inertia and self-indulgence (broadly understood as experimentalist). Fortini's poem stands, as Passannanti notes, as an epochal reassertion of the "dignity" of the Italian poetic tradition. (Thomas E. Peterson, University of Georgia)
Theatre and War, 1933-1945
On an April evening in 1934, on the River Arno in Florence, an air squadron, an infantry, a cavalry brigade, fifty trucks, four field and machine gun batteries, ten field radio stations, and six photoelectric units presented a piece of theatre. The mass spectacle, 18 BL involved over two thousand amateur actors and was performed before an audience of twenty thousand. 18 BL is one of eleven extraordinary essays collected together for the first time. The essays have been selected and edited from a wide range of publications dating from the 1940s to the 1990s. The authors are academics, cultural historians, and theatre practitioners - some with direct experience of the harsh conditions of Europe during the war. Each author critically assesses the function of theatre in times of world crisis, exploring themes of Fascist aesthetic propaganda in Italy and Germany, of theatre re-education programmes in the Gulags of Russia, of cultural "sustenance" for the troops at the front and interned German refugees in the UK, or cabaret shows as a currency for survival in Jewish concentration camps.

Eugenio Montale. Life and Work
Despite the fact that Eugenio Montale produced only five volumes of poetry in his first fifty years as a writer, when the Swedish Academy awarded the Italian poet and critic the 1975 Nobel Prize for Literature they called him "one of the most important poets of the contemporary West," according to a Publishers Weekly report. One of Montale's translators, Jonathan Galassi, echoed the enthusiastic terms of the Academy in his introduction to The Second Life of Art: Selected Essays of Eugenio Montale in which he referred to Montale as "one of the great artistic sensibilities of our time."
The Compass Dances
The Compass Dances is a collection of poems written from 1955 to 2015; the work of almost a lifetime. Influenced by the author’s long absence from England, this strikingly original collection provides unique reflection on simultaneously writing in two languages, far away from the familiarity of home. The compass waltzes that holds me in check. Its polarity cannot reverse if I live. With a nod to postmodernism, the process of authorial construction is left deliberately exposed. Asides and footnotes are used to signpost the reader and provide insight into the inspiration behind Pickering’s writing. There are also many poems whose compelling inner force needs no explanation, appearing to ha...
Fictions of Youth
Fictions of Youth is a comprehensive examination of adolescence as an aesthetic, sociological, and ideological category in Pier Paolo Pasolini's prose, poetry, and cinema. Simona Bondavalli's book explores the multiple ways in which youth, real and imagined, shaped Pasolini's poetics and critical positions and shows how Pasolini's works became the basis for representations of contemporary young people, particularly Italians. From Pasolini's own coming of age under Fascism in the 1940s to the consumer capitalism of the 1970s, youth stood for innocence, vitality, and rebellion. Pasolini's representations of youth reflected and shaped those ideas. Offering a systematic treatment of youth and adolescence within Pasolini's eclectic body of work, Fictions of Youth provides both a broad overview of the changing nature of youth within Italian modernity and an in-depth study of Pasolini's significant contribution to that transformation.
