Description
ITALIAN POETRY PRESENT
Book Summary
This anthology brings together the voices of a group of contemporary Italian authors, offering a poetic map that connects Italy, Spain, and Europe. The reader will find a selection of poems that reflect a poetry conscious of its time, published in a bilingual edition to facilitate access to the original texts. A work that celebrates the normality of the female presence in literary creation.
What is it about?
The book arises from the meeting between two publishers, Huerga y Fierro and LietoColle, with a group of authors united by a common idea: a poetry present before itself, before its own time, and before its world, of which Italy, Spain, and Europe are a part. The different voices trace a map, a constellation that draws the lines of the contemporary Italian landscape. The project is published in two editions: in Italy in the original version and in Spain in a bilingual edition. This anthology, consisting exclusively of women, is conceived as the first part of a diptych, which will be followed by a mirror-anthology of Spanish poetry.
