Everybody know: Zanzotto is one of the most important contemporary Italian poets. Extremely intellectual but, at the same time, fun and enjoyable to read, he leads you to the intricated and weird labyrints of language (everyday speech, children stumbling groans,intellectual and bureaucratical jargon, foreigners'unanderstandable utterings...) until you get lost with him; or at least it's what you think for a moment, just a short second, until something comes to your mind like a lightning: "Gosh, he knows where we are!" Though hard to translate, Zanzotto wise bric-a-brac creations are now available to the English native speaker reader. Don't miss the chance: get lost with him, you will finally recognize the voices buzzlin' in your brain!
