Item description from seller

This is "The Contagion of Matter" a book of poems by Valerio Magrelli. Translated from the Italian by Anthony Molino, the book was published in paperback format by Holmes and Meier. There is a Foreword by Jonathan Galassi. Said Professor Rebecca West in a review, quoted on the rear cover : "Molino's translations of Valerio Magrelli's poetry bring to the English-speaking readers some of the most astounding verse to be found in contemporary Italian letters. Here, a great deal of precious cargo has made it intact to the shores of the English Speaking world, and we are enriched by the arrival of such rich, strange and new matter."
