Contemporary Italian poetry is a varied landscape mostly unchartedfor the reader in the Anglo-American world. The writing offers anextraordinary array of styles, voices, approaches, ways of looking at theworld and ways of representing it. This anthology tries to capture themultiplicity of these voices with its selection of the most representativepoets from different backgrounds: academics, working-class writers,editors, journalists, performers, travellers and professional translators. Each voice has its unique accent, poetics, style and topic. The readerwill discover a diverse poetry dealing with a number of topical concernssuch as identity, sex, politics, migration and race.
