Pier Paolo Pasolini
Before his mysterious murder in 1975, Pier Paolo Pasolini had become famous—and infamous—not only for his groundbreaking films and literary works but also for his homosexuality and criticism of capitalism, colonialism, and Western materialism. In Pier Paolo Pasolini: Performing Authorship, Gian Maria Annovi revisits Pasolini's oeuvre to examine the author's performance as a way of assuming an antagonistic stance toward forms of artistic, social, and cultural oppression. Annovi connects Pasolini's notion of authorship to contemporary radical artistic practices and today's multimedia authorship. Annovi considers the entire range of Pasolini's work, including his poetry, narrative and docum...

Piercing the Page : Selected Poems 1958-1989
Poetry. Translated from the Italian by many hands. Edited with an introduction by Gian Maria Annovi and with an afterword, "Porta: Rhythm and the Poetic List," by Umberto Eco. PIERCING THE PAGE is an extensive selection of Antonio Porta's poetry, from 1958-1989, representing one of the highest and most intense achievements of postwar Italian Literature. One of the five original members of the Novissimi (anthologized in the groundbreaking 1961 volume I Novissimi: Poetry for the Sixties), Porta remains one of the most important figures in the literary movement known as the Neo-Avant-garde; his work exhibiting a relentless desire for change and articulation. Porta wrote for several major newspapers in Italy, as well as having a more than thirty-year career as an editor for publishing houses in both Milan and Rome. Although several collections of Porta's work have been published in the US since 1978, PIERCING THE PAGE represents the culmination of a lifetime in poetry.

Anna Maria Ortese
After years of obscurity, Anna Maria Ortese (1914–1998) is emerging as one of the most important Italian authors of the twentieth-century, taking her place alongside such luminaries as Italo Calvino, Primo Levi, and Elsa Morante. Anna Maria Ortese: Celestial Geographies features a selection of essays by established Ortese scholars that trace her remarkable creative trajectory. Bringing a wide range of critical perspectives to Ortese’s work, the contributors to this collection map the author’s complex textual geography, with its overlapping literary genres, forms, and conceptual categories, and the rhetorical and narrative strategies that pervade Ortese’s many types of writing. The essays are complemented by material translated here for the first time: Ortese’s unpublished letters to her mentor, the writer Massimo Bontempelli; and an extended interview with Ortese by fellow Italian novelist Dacia Maraini.
Italian Literature in the Nuclear Age
Italian Literature in the Nuclear Age: A Poetics of the Bystander explores the overlooked position of the bystander in the Nuclear Age by focusing on the Italian situation as a paradigmatic case. Host to hundreds of American atomic weapons while lacking a nuclear arsenal of its own, Italy's status was an ambiguous one: that of an unwilling—and in many ways passive—accomplice. Inspired by Seamus Heaney's dictum that "there is no such thing as innocent by-standing," the book frames Italy's fraught mix of implication and powerlessness not only as a geopolitical question, but as a way to rethink the role of the sidelined intellectual in the face of mass extinction. Italian Literature in the ...
Impromptu
After a period of silence and mental illness, Amelia Rosselli wrote Impromptu in a burst of unexpected creativity in 1979. The poem won the Pier Paolo Pasolini Prize in 1981. It was the last original collection in Italian that Rosselli produced.
Loco Motrix
A musician, musicologist, and self-defined “poet of research,” Amelia Rosselli (1930–96) was one of the most important poets to emerge from Europe in the aftermath of World War II. Following a childhood and adolescence spent in exile from Fascist Italy between France, England, and the United States, Rosselli was driven to express the hopes and devastations of the postwar epoch through her demanding and defamiliarizing lines. Rosselli’s trilingual body of work synthesizes a hybrid literary heritage stretching from Dante and the troubadours through Ezra Pound and John Berryman, in which playful inventions across Italian, English, and French coexist with unadorned social critique. In a ...
