Eugenio Montale:
SELECTED POEMS

Nobel Prize-winning Italian poet Eugenio Montale (1896-1981) was one of the world's greatest modernist poets. As a love poet, a landscape poet, and a spiritual pilgrim, he has few equals. His distinctive music is recreated here by three master translators, Jonathan Galassi, Charles Wright, and David Young.
