In his introduction to the experimental Italian poet Antonio Sagredo, translator Sean Mark writes: \"Though his poetic diction may evoke voices of the past, or revisit odes, sonnets and satirae, Sagredo is by no means a classicist, a reviver of dry and yellowing verse, harking after the restoration of obsolete orders; rather, his verbosity is a mark of distinction, of the fullness of his 'visions, alcohols, words.' Any temporal continuity is constantly short-circuited, as we skip from Keats's Hampstead, to Stalinist Russia via 17th-century Counter- Reformation Naples; and alongside the ceremony and magniloquence sits a colloquial, tender undercurrent... a playful and knowing pastiche... In the realm of contemporary poetry, Sagredo's work ventures in distinctly unfrequented directions—he is, like his poetic personae, a heretic to all schools, whose work resembles that of no other contemporary Italian poet.\"","brand":"Chelsea Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47024136356080,"sku":"9780986106132","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780986106132_p0.jpg?v=1763890553","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780986106132","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
