Translated from the Italian by Luigi Bonaffini, Barbarba Carle, Ned Condini, Anamaría Crowe Serrano, Michael Palma, Sonia Raiziss, I. L. Salomon, Gail Segal and John Taylor. Here in one volume is the lifework of a poet recognized as one of the century's most striking and uncompromising voices. Represented with complete texts or generous selections thereof, all carefully edited and revised, are seven collections of poetry spanning 62 years. Each collection plumbs a different theme to its depths: the experience of imprisonment, the carnage and madness of war, the violence of man and beast in nature, the hunger and savagery of sex, the search for self, the inevitability of destiny and the poet's rejection and mockery of death.

Both are fine editions and are shrink wrapped together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Alfredo de Palchi's energetic lyrical abilities infuse the whole of PARADIGM, and his poems, gritty and sensuous at the same time, display themselves as successfully in English as in the original Italian. Here we find an encompassing emotion 'accelerating thought' and revealing a voice that is singular, unique. He sees the world closely with genuine purpose—no posturing here—with a style and engagement that prove him to be what we find so seldom today: a poet whose mastery derives from the power and intelligence of his individuality. Rich and complex, de Palchi's poems are an effortless balance of varied forces; an expression of a superior imagination that constantly surprises.\"—Timothy Houghton\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chelsea Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47010172633328,"sku":"9780988478718","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780988478718_p0.jpg?v=1763893510","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780988478718","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
