Selected Poems of Marina Pizzi - Translation by Maurizio Brancaleoni (Free eBook)


Marina Pizzi is simply one of the best contemporary Italian poets. Unfortunately, only few of her poems have ever been translated in English and that is one of the reasons that pushed me to make this effort. Another motive is that while in general Pizzi’s syntax has a solid stone-like nature which suits English very well, her lines are extremely polysemic, ambiguous, and full of poetic inversions, which means that a non-native would have a hard time trying to interpret certain passages or grasp the whole range of nuances and meanings. This selection has been guided by personal taste. All the poems were originally published in electronic format. The titles of the (e-)books from which they are taken are given both in Italian and English. I hope this book will find its readers in this big, crazy e-maze.
