His selection convinces us that, as he puts it, \"Petrarch deserves to be valued as a real man, a careful thinker, a good poet.\" Free in form yet holding close to the central impulses of Petrarch's inspiration, Kilmer's \"readings\" in this bilingual edition present Petrarch as a confessional poet, but one who is a humane moralist of startling honesty.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eNicholas Kilmer, former dean of the Swain College of Art and Design in New Bedford, Massachussetts, has made his living as an art dealer and curator since leaving teaching in 1982.
