Description:
First published in Italy in 1971, Satura is the fourth collection of poems by the Nobel Prize winner Eugenio Montale (1896-1981). In Satura, the poet experimented with dialogue, journalistic notation, commentary, aphorism, and half-strangled song, and pressed Italian literary language into terrain it had never touched before. These are poems whose reductions and sacrifices define a new lyric art. The Montale scholar Joseph Cary wrote of Arrowsmith's translation of Satura, "Satura is a rich medley...beautifully served by a brilliant scholar-translator".
