Description of  Brief Homage to Pluto and Other Poems (The Lockert Library of Poetry in Translation, 154)

0691245096 pdf Award-winning new translations of a major contemporary Italian poet Brief Homage to Pluto and Other Poems collects forty-five poems by Fabio Pusterla, one of the most distinguished Italian-language poets writing today.

Pusterla is the author of eight critically acclaimed books of poetry and has received several major literary prizes. Selected and translated by Will Schutt, himself an award-winning poet, this volume draws from Pusterlas six most recent collections to capture a wide range of the poets work.
