Eugenio Montale

Satura

Translated by William Arrowsmith and Edited by Rosanna Warren

"One can read Satura as an elegy for Western Literary Modernism itself, for the passing of a great era."—Harold Bloom

Satura
Satura, Montale's fourth collection of poems, experiments with dialogue, journalistic notation, commentary, and aphorism, and presses Italian literary language into terrain it has never touched before. These are poems whose reductions and sacrifices define a new lyric art.

"Humorous, satiric, parodic, mischievous."—The New Republic

Eugenio Montale (1896-1981) won the Nobel Prize for Literature in l975.
