Works and Days (Pitt Poetry Series)
"Works and Dayshas a deft, precise touch, rare at any time. Sensuous and thoughtful, [it bears] the gift of a sensitive poetic ear. Its use of English and Italian together is sometimes crystalline, and it is also here the key to meditation. Just as the last word of each poem leads to the first word of the next, so Works and Days expresses a coherent sensibility, incorporating history and learning in a most natural manner. This is a beautiful book. The twenty poems in it make a twenty-first of the whole.--Marvin Bell,University of Iowa --(Marvin Bell,University of Iowa)"Works and Days has a deft, precise touch, rare at any time.
