Questa è lacqua (Einaudi. Stile libero big) (Italian Edition)

The characters are always floundering and live in a climate of grotesque visions Limit The wind unravels in the loom of the pine tree. Inside, souls thread cocoons of silence. Ossa mea are rags, my body a worn pallet; my soul has left its paws in the trap The limit in the black ink of the pear tree, of the crow that wavers up there, in wheels of splendor. Sparrows Sparrows of rags entangled between thorns and elders between a snare and a shotgun, between spindles of sunlight and mouths of shadows, between garden nets and hedges basted with snow: Campanili fra serpi di vento: Wind Belfries between snakes of wind: In the frothy air go butterflies of straw, a few strands of snow, a few ruffled black shadows.

The wind capers through the narrow alleys. The daughters of Mary have flown away dressed in snow, in sky. Now the wind drags its feet by the torn garden nets to confess its sin. Then it kneels to say the rosary to the larch trees The Virgin from the lime wall takes wing behind the daughters of Mary, with their petticoats blown by the wind. He published his first book of verse, Le trombe di carta Sarzana: Editore Carpena , in In he published with Guanda his second collection of poetry: Incertezza dei bersagli , with a preface by Vittorio Sereni.

The voices of the old were fires in the evening. Under the iron beds, in the dark, apples ripened and their scent reached as far as the fences.

Summer I Before reopening your eyes to the shock of things fraying in the heat, tonight you die, summer, sorrow, in a downpour that washes out even thoughts straining to walk in all this sunlight. Listen to me now, if you can. I mentioned the end of the fish, and a river: He spent his childhood in Genoa until , and went to high school and college there after a brief stay in Val di Magra. He remained in that city from the end of to the beginning of The search for a job led him to the Turin offices of RAI, which at the time were the old administrative offices in Via Arsenale He has been living in Milan since La starda del sale, Some of his unpublished poems appeared in Diverse Lingue , n.

Not having ever recognized myself I Firpo, I listen again to the Genoese dialect of my father and his friends, and favor this strong, narrative poetry, teeming with an anonymous crowd, those people The author delves into a sort of collective geology, in which dialect becomes the language of the chorus.

His verses depict a dreary, mortuary Genoa, observed from an almost archeological distance There is a radical rejection of the lyrical self in order to give voice to the people, the biographies, the realities touched by the long wanderings on the sea, but also, in a prison-city on the wane, a suffering, humiliated humanity. With his prose-like, narrative verse, Giannoni represents today the epic-choral peak of neodialect poetry. Then looking all around him, he would note so many different things: Yet to eyes that have been used up behind a pen, to fingers that can count to ten, even these things are something, and they ought to be talked about in school: All this is still nothing: In the port and in the roads out on the seas the odor of calculations makes us drunk, stirs up the stagnant waters of the quays and advances through the air and fills the sky.

Like the wake of a thousand seagulls, or a scrawl, or like a greasy cloud, black, full, and thick A flourish of the wind, a rise and fall of rows of sums in the ledger up above. The more they struggle just to count, the more all that comes out of it is nothing These are houses where the cash is never ready And we, whose roots grow deep into the ground, we carry them in our bellies, in our guts, even if the turning moon that rings us round is sinking to the level of an oil-lamp When he was 7, his family moved to his present home, Milan.

He published his first poems in the 22nd issue of Nuovi Argomenti April-June Two years later his first book of verses, I cart , appeared in print. Einaudi Turin issued this text, as it did Teater in Subsequently, Loi has been consistent in his productivity, turning out Bach Milan: Libri Scheiwiller in , Liber Milan: This myth of a biography, an age and a city shows no respect for the critical categories and the taboos of our historiographical conventions. Herein, even the Milanese dialect is reduced drastically to a poignant idiom that stresses the naked and the transparent.

Franco De Faveri, introduction to Poesie: Oh what images of fire I dreamed! I curled up and demons were sinking their claws to puncture my dreams, squeeze my marrow dry. Hopes, pain, memories, love, you traitor and comrade of kisses, flings, glories, of people who laugh and vanish, of lamentations that old age-- clutching and telling-- cultivates in the blood like a flower dying with summer.

Translated by Justin Vitiello IV. Buffone di un vento! Yet, from that distance, I long to hear a voice summoning me What a jester of a wind! The city refuses to end and the countryside stretches like stagnant water where we grow old. Siamo troppo abituati ad ascoltarci. All around, these missing persons dense in the odor of death Wrought-iron benches fragile in their void, silent on this besmirched earth There we were, staring: We drank each other up with our eyes-- in gusts of thought that the distant thunder among the lean shadows of spruce, mountains and our exhaled tremor made theater.

We sensed the air of the nightingales that behind trunks were like remorse of summer rain mid cloud covers where the sun creates the image of Angera, our golden Citadel. Angera Citadel, forceful and fierce in the fog, hid the lake. Over the edge, through the trees, the hospital loomed-- stripped, immersed in mud, melancholy-- as if seeking its identity amid the Pity And you, Pietro Gori, where are you?

Shades standing or seated and this body stretched, something dense-- with shoes and an unmade bed Dear friend, speak to me with your face lit by words reclaiming time! Air comes gently to the windowsill, birds soar as the world seems to wait for them there So I proceed, eyes down, yet something transports me and in my throat I squeeze those ruffled sheets.

Air reaches me like fog, I am fixed, cant wait The bed is there, something trembles, looks like a hand whose grasp fades away, clutching naught Di Dio sono pazzo, si strappa la coscienza. The more I contemplate Him the more He recedes God is playful, like the moon, where my thoughts become clouds and He hides So I let my mind meander, speak with humans, and the moon persists, mad, clear, lunatic with its glow slipping through the night. Death plants fear in the heart, flees behind the mirror me.

I watch life and will dies: Call me, call me, folks! Dont let me sleep! Dont let my life go oblivious! Or my history just die Love, so lunatic, reaches me like joy of water--it always seeps among the living! Edizioni San Marco dei Giustianiani, —with a preface by P. Einaudi, —preface by F.

She writes in the dialect spoken where she was born. I do not mean here a chronological structure with gradual passage from an alpha to an omega, but, rather, a linking of poetic texts that deal with unified thematics: This structure seems inevitable. For this bird, the hoopoe, never lays its oils on a synopic canvas.

Instead, it daubs with its spatula. This gleeful and much maligned bird lives via indetectible surprises, fits and starts, grazing the reversals of a reality stranger than fiction. This invisible reality glimmers beneath primordial stains as original images reverberating from these deeply felt and variegated poems. In her poems, however, such an intensity reaches the extraordinary point where it constitutes the essence of her lyricism. The world as we know it vanishes; historical reference points no longer exist; and experience in all its polyhedricity is reduced to the confrontation with the other.

Loi, introduction to Ura , cit. Other lights shimmer in sky, on earth. I see what I watch, see the shadow of this place once again Could it really have been the way I feel today? I want to see it for myself so I can call brother that man who says his land is the loveliest I take yours and you have mine in mind how come these two signs mingle? Otherwise, if they were compounded it would make the world tremble. It began in one of us, each pursued it, doesnt matter who. Secret paths we call ours passing through everybody.

His university studies were done in Zurich and Pavia. A bilingual author, he contributes to numerous literary magazines and journals. He has also written theatrical pieces, some of which have been set to music. Herein, Quadri expresses his anguish in trying to create a new world. But his vision is not projected toward the future. Instead, it focuses on resistance against those who aim to eliminate the rural universe. In short, this vision is retrospection. A literary parallel to this aspiration is found in Giacomo Noventa. Intrinsic to this poetic design are two motifs: Ultimately, Quadri is haunted by the negative results of the gap between the two universes: His studies in dialectology and philology clearly facilitate his fieldwork, that is, in turn, the linguistic grounding for his poetry.

Such games inform this poetry, refining and focusing it via respect for folk culture. One might doubt or even deny that Quadri still takes this approach as a mature writer. Edizioni Del Riccio, Gibellini, in Diverse Lingue , 2 Udine: Brevini, in Le parole perdute , cit. Your mop is going grey, your teeth are thinning out, you look awful! But, if you cant hack it, - fanaboola! Yet under this Lombard sky, come evening, everything drowns: Hunched by the years, the cancer that abided, by the tangles of branches and tufts of leaves, the chirping of daunted birds escapes that soul in agony: All around, handkerchiefs, school uniforms, even a pillow-case on a stool Of the stone walls crumbling nothing remains but blot, naught, naked roofs about to collapse, gutters, a well, a walnut tree, a name etched on a deserted farmhouse: El canto del tilio, Udine: Edizioni del Leone, ; Maraeja , Poesia in piego n.

There are no features or gestures which are not a looking beyond, a way of querying the signals and warnings couched in everyday life. But in this gaze looking within the usual cycle of days and seasons lies the restless act of the search for meaning, the interrogation that springs from distance and foreignness.

Through the cracks come the sounds of perforated air: And then I ask myself, could one live like this, just listening? All refractory things become straight, in the ideal circle the quantified fact resonates. Astir in my brain half-structured remains, ants in procession.

Non ho voglia di parole: I sense my own ear, and I repent. Could it be the one all-surrendering voice? I wish someone would silence the silence this way. He received a degree in modern literature and teaches in a middle school. He edits the political-cultural journal Confronto. His poems have appeared in Diverse Lingue and Pagine. The spirit that prevails in this book is a profound pietas for the immense suffering that man has had to face every day in the dreadful reality of a life which has almost always been a struggle for meager survival. In the background there is the enormous crowd of the dead, the presence of the Manes, absolutely irreplaceable essences that every man on earth has embodied.

The attempt to relive the pains of the past by projecting them onto the present gives his work an almost sacrificial form: He tries to give a new human sense to all this, using the only language that seems to allow him to communicate with that distant world in its innermost truth.

Questa è l'acqua

And this language, expression of a firm intention to appropriate the past, is pushed toward an almost mythical archaic time, with formal constructs of rare intensity. The book leads us in a secluded and wooded world see the richness of the botanical lexicon of the dialect , magmatic and germinating, against the backdrop of an agricultural-pastoral civilization in its age-old daily labor [ Piccin, ; Andrea Zanzotto, in il Belli , n.

Colavini, ; La lingua degli emigrati Florence: Nuova Guaraldi, ; Sboradura e sanc Florence: Le parole gelate, ; Usmas: His poems have been translated into Swedish, Croatian, English and German. He writes in Marazanis dialect. Zanier finds his voice in the context of the best dialect poetry of twentieth century Italian literature.

But, simultaneously, they are absolute, alive. Beyond the historical moment, they become atemporal. In its refrains and reiterations, this syntax breaks into a gurgling of syllables that slip and slide harmoniously from word to word, from line to line, thus lapping in a sweet, staccato lullaby. Zanier succeeds in creating subtle counterpoints between the banal and the poetic. Via the use of original word-plays, he displays the mordant sense of humor so typical of his fellow Friulans that has been rarely understood by non-Friulan readers. Faggin, La poesia friulana del Novecento Rome: Amedeo Giacomini, Wie eine Viole in Casarsa: Brevini, Le parole perdute , cit.

His dialect poetry has not yet appeared in book form. Dialect is time, childhood, all time. Then, the years pass, but the time I could touch remained. Its pillow still suffocates me when I try to sleep. Then I go through crises when the voice summons and consoles, but never emerges. Oh, it does breathe, caress, warm me with sea redolences. Sweep colors upon me—colors of a pale sky and transparent algae. I was summoned to the pier desert and the wind was too strong.

I realized I was late for the appointment. But the voice insisted, and its words came back. The people who spoke my language are now foreign: But all generations abide, floating in the oily channel of words. The ships have departed. Yet the dialect plumbs the depths of their wakes. There my ship of fools finds its in-and-expiration, its intonation, song, farewell.

As long as I have the oxygen to take leave in my Aria dei mati. Gualtiero De Santi, Nello spazio della dispersione Naples: Giacinto Spagnoletti, in Storia della letteratura italiana del Novecento Rome: Slate-scrape of my nails rising to my fingertips from deep deep inside.

By dawn, by dusk with this scraping in a heart bursting in its musk. Ah, my love made of water, ah, my love made of salt ah, pigeon in the chestnut leaves dying! One more blot upon the void.

In this idiom there is rooted a fragmented, raw, passionate poetics, straining with obscure regrets, outrageous prophecies, overbearing resentments, repentance, violence. This poetry is virtually blood-stained, suffered, contorted, anxious.

At the same time, it is plastic, symbolic, concise and, often, metaphysical. His themes come from everyday life, but they burn like hot pepper in a sweetly consuming fire of multiply interwoven tongues of flame, and in subliminal crackles. This poet is audacious in his juggling of syntax and in his forcing of words to say exactly what he wants them to. His aim is to create a sense of rhythm where informing variations on metrics predominate.

What abides in his autobiographical sketch resembles the bones of a fish whose flesh barely clings to a durable structure. Brevini, introduction to Crature. Damiani, in Poeti dialettali triestini Trieste: Tesio, presentation of 9 Poesie scritte a Trieste.

Therefrom, the author has continued to plow in ruts of twentieth century poetic tradition and to struggle to disinter himself, via the use of dialect, from the crepuscular movement. And this imagery enfleshes landscapes of swamps, an unstable condition between land and water—in an expressionistic way that becomes psychic. His vitalism pushes his words to the edge of screams, grimaces, delirium, inebriate see Schers. All hanging over the abyss of nothingness. From these oxymora, Giacomini extrapolates his continuum: In the 16 compositions of this dissonant suite, the poet condenses a tension of a journey that evanesces and, then, essentializes.

At the core of his dilemma is a Saturnine indecision: Herein, we encounter his typical symbols and warnings, fraternal and frankly cowardly relationships with his fellow humans, his self-denigrations and solitary denunciations, his desperate need of some kind of reward for his suffering, his bitterness, frustrations, murky fears, self-destructive tendencies.

Let me cite, apropos, one particularly painful confession he makes: But then a miracle occurs. From the doldrums of ancient prayers and petrified shrieks and age-old defeats, light emerges. Nazzi, Dizionario biografico friulano Udine: Nel grembo di Saturno. This barbaric hope that has made you live in the belly of being belly of Saturn, has you, green snake, slipping down cracks, sick shadow, August cat Fire and ash, hot caress on quake of bones, drive each day to try to begin Ti ha uccisa la luna.

Blind, bent over, I drag myself through clefts looking for light. That silence away down there— is it the edge of a field? I wobble in mist; you, my arm, take me to the light! Conta le olive sulla tavola. Make me bitter, moon, count me with the olives. The only leaf-quake that I see are these sheets of mine in gold-stained shadows. Translated by Dino Fabris Cu la lenghe crevade Con la lingua crepata.

Rosis grivis di gjambe sutile ti fasin murae intal siump, si fasin presinsis Schema for thought— pleated gold over trees, dying moon throbbing on necessary steps Anticipation filled with faces; shrouds like flags unfurled whitening the horizon; all around glass-imbedded walls lying in wait, fashioned to hew hands, exposed knuckles Will you, knight without ensigns, knowing yourself unsure, carry your acrid figure to where acid meats and tough solitudes pulverize teeth?

Is forgetfulness your end? Serious, slender-stemmed roses form a wall in dreams, make themselves felt Give over to these respites? Drown in the honey of these tropes? She published two books of poetry in Italian: La porta dipinta and Interrogatorio Then, after a ten year silence, she took up writing in the western variety of Medunese, placing the following poems in numerous books and review: Tore Barbina and A. The texts anthologized here are previously unpublished. For the latter, so distant by now, can do us no harm.

I repeat, these women are recreating Friulan poetry—not as a male-female dialectic, but as the truth of all human consciousness es. This is my point: Cantarutti first and foremost, then Maria Forte, Buiese and Vallerugo, have all contributed, via their heightened sensibility, to the reshaping of our poetic language.

Ultimately, they have made it the language of a people. Ciceri Nicoloso, Scrittrici contemporanee in Friuli , cit. Cosa lo ha spinto? Last Place The last place in the world, the world a station if it has a station, however small, the name vanished, two tracks, the service track aside with cars sealed for centuries that, more from precaution than fear, no one opens.

An eternity like this. One day he got lost in the desert going just beyond that bend where the tracks are burnished gold in the setting sun. Who brought him back and laid him across the tracks? Yes, it was plain the desert moved, the tracks were covered again as quickly as the sand was swept away. Il marito si accorse in tempo. The Dream Maybe by now the snow outside has buried the earth melancholy Hiroshima landscape. On the Sydney bridge the wind lifts your black hair loose from its pins.

The ships pass slowly by, sounding their horns they head for open sea, gone already. Your pensive mother passes by in deep water. From that window the bridge is a single arc, a flight Before you my Regina stops her rush. She awakened among the dead. Her husband realized it in time. Veniva e viene ancora appeso alle travi del soffitto.

Il suo nome varia da zona a zona e non ha un nome corrispondente in italiano. Being with you who are no longer with us is so much more than living among the busy lives who take away my breath that peace I need for being cursed the way I am. Being with you always grape by grape my aurec hung on my slender rafter in this room with the painted outside door where a famished child has not eaten the bunch clenched in his hands because the grapes are numbered It was and still is hung from the rafters in the attic.

The dried grapes were eaten in winter. Its name varies from place to place and has no equivalent in Italian. Here, the Aurec is my deceased grandmother. He teaches elementary school.

And that rivulet of light along the knee! When the sun ensnares itself in the thorns of the darkness, then whose will be the face that I caress? There are those who learn how to suckle from the white of the page, to whistle from a wind hidden deep within.

And how you can command, condemn, cudgel all humanity, right from there, from that white room, perched like a king on the throne of the latrine. He studied at the University of Bologna and now teaches in a lycaeum in Pordenone. He has published numerous critical essays on literature and aesthetics in journals such as Testo a fronte , Studi di estetica , Diverse Lingue , and Baldus which he also edits.

Campanotto, ; Sapeghete: Poesia in piego Rome: Campanotto, —which won the Lanciano Prize that year. The texts anthologized come from Vose de vose. He has comprehended and assimilated European Symbolism and Surrealism. For him, they are overcome by their ineluctable fragility in an atmosphere of indistinct contours, all in suspension and expectancy. Searching for his own voice, he eschews his noble poetic tradition. He writes viva voce , in dialogue, retracing old terms, introducing innovation, finding points where the old and the new meet.

For the autumn and animals left under the crystal of hours culling branches and earth for a den in a nook of the head.

A rain eroding clay shoulders and finding us in the jaw of a November forever open in an lotus with luggage to manage the night, filled with leaves, peelings, signed papers. If we fall asleep.

Visionary and descriptive passages alternate. His variegated repertoire of images is characterized by subtlety in design and by a cyclical sense of melody. Notwithstanding traces of his literary tradition, Spadoni gives new life to his dialect that is virtually biological for its instinctive immediacy. Its affinities are clear from its settings everyday, humble objects and human types and its versification. The latter is characterized by a warm, colloquial vocality that lightens the sombre tone and mollifies the harshness of vision.

He is now its editor-in-chief. The poems anthologized here come from Tir. This marginality, however, allows him to focus his lens sharply. Creaks, collapses, fissures, crashes of beams in the dust, cracks, cuts, splinters—all reverberate. These poems do an x-ray of an inexorably progressive landslide, an extraordinary yet oblique vision of cycles and seasons. His new emphasis is on an accumulative narration of data, objects, daily and work situations. His new instruments are parataxis and asyndeton or polyasyndata —i.

Everyday prose speech, the brutality of history in the making, the infamous and the banal—that is to say, the terms of contemporary threats to the very act of writing poetry—are all here, center stage. The shattering of verse in Nadiani conveys his interaction with lived, transcribed prose. This idiom is lived to the extremes of chaotic enumeration where his dexterous and resourceful rhythms overcome the flat, monodical flow of apparently run-on phrases. In our heads we say no to North Africans with languid eyes Sleep is what wakes us and we dont buy Automat Today after swats that lit up the night the flies are unsure of themselves For one, over-long moment we stop to hear the thud on the pavement of an over-ripe fig, the putrid splash of the wheels The sparrows wallowing in their puddles seem amused and, in the murk, we envy their chirping.

But dont talk to the computer about it! Stressed, we punch the keys to forget the impotent rage of our disguises Weariness The full moon plumb over the trailers that extend the night. We masters of the dark, hushed Feet sodden with dew we slither back home to shut the blinds, light a lamp, look each other in the eye: When he was twenty years old he published a chapbook in Italian, Echi Ancona: Ata, , while his dialect collection E per un frutto piace tutto un orto introduction by Plinio Acquabona, with four illustrations by Emilio Greco, Ancona: In an ample anthology of works in print was published by Scheiwiller, with the addition of the section Laudario , which assembles the texts subsequent to Carta laniena , and an unpublished poem written in The volume is edited and prefaced by Franco Brevini.

He died suddenly in Numana in the summer of Mondadori published posthumously the book of poems El sol. In this sense dialect is seen as a metaplasm of language, alien to any aesthetics of the untranslatable. The model for this operation was presumably offered to him by a popular sixteenth-century poet of the Marche, Olimpio da Sassoferrato Franco Brevini, in Poeti dialettali del Novecento , Einaudi, Scataglini has a very personal ability to cross the boundaries of reality without escaping it, forcing to the utmost the contours of the image, expanding them, and at the same time corroding its core, its inner center, so that it may open to the air and burn in the air.

Towards her I lean through an ancient obedience with the gloomy mien of one becoming immanence. Essentially, sex is a seeming allegory: Look at me hit the ground: I am this life exploded that on itself relapses. Translated by Luigi Bonaffini El cardo sui grepi o cavedane! Translated by Luigi Bonaffini Su la neve De gravi rami in schianto luntani soprasalti. From buckling heavy branches faraway anxieties. Is this, my love, the way one dies of completion broken, side by side, inside their own windbreakers?

Translated by Luigi Bonaffini El sol I. Svetava soverchiante come una torre altera la grande ciminiera fino a luntane piante. Trebiatrici per aie, da longo, colonie, barconi in mezo a scie de svolazate paie. Piccola fabbrica non lungi da Chiaravalle, in aperta campagna. Smantellata dai tedeschi nel , ne restano desolate vestigia.

The long shiver of the call runs through the people inside the waiting room. On the side, a few countenances, all of submissive lives wearing clean clothes contrite farmers in reticent shadows wives in the corner of the waiting room outside, the calash with puppets painted on its flanks, desolate in their vilified happy bloom.

Water down in the gorge the attending murmur flees beyond the patch of elm trees that came out clean and purged from the cast iron gratings of the Sol the whine of black factories, turbines. Unshared, outlying was a large villa the swallows fell in swarms on the white hawthorns. Translated by Luigi Bonaffini Sol: A Small factory not far from Chiaravalle, in the open countryside. Dismantled by the Germans in , only desolate traces of it remain. The text recalls a summer spent by the author in those places as a boy.

He published six collections of poetry: Ponti , by Giuseppe Giacalone , ; Idillio e catastrofe. Poesie , and is interested in art criticism he has edited at least twenty exhibits. As a dialect poet since , he appears in Umbria by P.

Ponti the man has a serious notion of life, a pessimistic conception of the world, but Ponti the poet almost always succeeds in transcribing his inner feelings into a cold and calculated style, as if it were a defense mechanism against his suffering.

A way of writing cold what one feels hot, a way of laughing at his own pain, as a way of overcoming the pain. But in reality he holds man responsible for his pain, because humanity, from a social point of view, does nothing to make life less miserable. Vivaldi, Poesia dialettale dal Rinascimento ad oggi , cit. Near the manure pile the footprints of Hamlet the painter of scenes: But what have you got inside your head? To drive me crazy?

    The texts that follow are unpublished. The dialect of Giuseppe Rosato, as is the case with the content of the poems and the themes developed, displays totally unconventional registers and cadences, which arise from remote, intimate, personal echoes, and establish him not as the bard of a people, but as the voice of a contemporary consciousness that utilizes dialect for its discrete charm, for its exclusive resources and for the malleability and expressiveness of certain extraordinary structures.

    The selection of poems does not exceed the number of fingers of both hands, yet it permits a discourse that is worth carrying out and it refers to the use of dialect in poetry Rosato goes back to a precise condition of poetry consecrated by dialect. Yet she goes to meet the sun: To be able to believe there is a rising east that waits for us as well as for the last moon of September, a morning filled with light in another world that lies behind the night The dark will swallow us, and afterwards there is no striving and there is no need, there is no curve of moon or spread of stars, there is no sky, there is no anything.

    His quaderni di traduzioni reveal a consum- mate craftsman at work whose books are not randomly organized or casually put together, but woven together in an carefully articulated structure. Not a miscellany of translations, they are new books, with original titles, and offer clear divisions within the volumes. My reading will draw on three theorists and theories: This essay is organized in several sections.

    Racconto sulla poesia Rome: Poetry, turned into a noun, becomes completely independent. For Giudici, first of all, poetic language is something physical, a sort of body, even a person, by virtue of its action on the poet: This concept of poetry as a physical body becomes enlarged to in- clude the body of the author himself: It is as though by reading a poem, we are unspooling the DNA of the author contained within, strand by strand, verse by verse.

    And lastly, poetic language becomes politically and religiously iden- tified with the state itself, with the nation. Il lati- no religio deriva da religare: Giudici, Andare in Cina, Giudici has published more volumes of translations than original poetry. Yet we rarely hear pace Manacorda that his transla- tions are so numerous and important. On the one hand, he has published 19 books of poetry; on the other hand, 27 translations or co-translations.

    Giudici, by stressing a specific principle, estranges the reader, by forcibly moving the reader towards the original text. In my opinion, there are only two possibilities. Either the translator leaves the author in peace as much as possible and moves the reader toward him; or he leaves the reader in peace as much as possible and moves the writer toward him. Indeed, it is in this bending of Italian that Giudici renders the translation foreign. This approach by Schleiermacher was developed by 20th century translation theorists like Walter Benjamin,49 Antoine Berman,50 and Law- rence Venuti, allowing translations to be placed in their relevant literary, cultural, and historical ideological contexts.

    Venuti, a professor of Eng- lish, and a professional translator of Italian texts,51 is the most influential contemporary American theorist of translation studies. Foreignizing translation signifies the difference of the foreign text, yet only by dis- rupting the cultural codes that prevail in the target language. Bernofsky, in The Translation Studies Reader, ed. Schocken, , Rodolfo Wilcock, and Melissa P. Routledge, and Scandals of translation: Routledge, have rapidly become classic texts in the field, and he has also edited two important anthologies: Indeed, except on rare occasions, Giudici has pre- ferred to translate from languages he alternately does not know Czech , knows very little Russian , or knows only from books English.

    Previously, Giudici had been ashamed to call himself a poet: Una storia della traduzione, trans. Giudici, Eugenio Onieghin, For more than a decade, then, from , Giudi- ci published volumes of verse but could not bring himself to call himself a poet. What changed his attitude was the contact with Russian people. He would publish Eugenio Onieghin in several different versions, and include a chapter of it in his first quaderno di tra- duzioni.

    It was the most important translation of his career. The latter verse translation, by one of the most important Italian professors and scholars of Russian,62 had and continues to have many supporters, especially among Italian Slavists. Yet Giudici has elsewhere written in a preface to his translation of Sylvia Plath: As I explained before, he believes not in a domesticating translation method, but a foreignizing translation, in which the source language indelibly infuses the target language through its own rhythm, diction, and syntax.

    As a poet in his own right, Giudici is most interested in constructing stories, dramas, interior monologues, juxtaposing characters and masks, all filtered and modified in the crucible of language. His history of Russian literature is still well-known and canonical. Giudici, 6th edition Milan: Mon- dadori, The other main attraction of Onieghin was the fact that it was a narrative poem, and this quality particularly appealed to Giudici.

    Mengaldo, La tradizione del Novecento. Uno, mi pare, dei capolavori dello spirito umano. Atti del nono convegno sui problemi della traduzione letteraria e scientifica Monselice: Marsilio, ; and S. Giudici did not share this belief, since he thought that translation should be done by an individual writer inspired with curiosity or passion for the foreign text. This is precisely what Schleiermacher meant when he spoke about his preferred method of translation, bringing the reader closer to the author and text as Giudici does.

    Now this idea of poetic and metrical translation could not be further removed from that of the most notorious translator of Eugenio Onieghin, Vladimir Nabokov. Giudici, Eugenio Onieghin di Aleksandr S. Garzanti, , xv. Nabokov explains his axioms as follows: To my ideal of literalism I sac- rificed everything elegance, euphony, clarity, good taste, modern usage, and even grammar that the dainty mimic prizes higher than truth.

    Pushkin has likened translators to horses changed at the post houses of civilization. The greatest re- ward I can think of is that students may use my work as a pony. Two volumes of commentary accompanied his translation, consisting of more than pages of textual, metrical, literary, and historical notes. Both Nabokov and Giudici do not believe in domesticating the original. For both, the trans- lation should reproduce certain aspects of the original: Yet, as we see from the quote above, Nabokov insists as well on the complete and encyclope- dic knowledge of the source language and the literary tradition surround- ing it.

    Not coincidentally, he unearthed a whole series of French verse al- luded to by Pushkin as well as successfully emending the text in a few places. Conversely, Giudici wanted to dive into the unknown, into the totally foreign source language. One of the most significant differences lies in the question of tone, which was important for Giudici but disregarded by Nabokov. Pushkin, Eugene Onegin, trans. Giudici gained enormously from his translation of Pushkin: The same thing happened with his earlier translation of Frost, as he wrote, when he learned how to free himself from the tyranny of hende- casyllable verse, allowing him to vary the syllable count from 11 up to Rarely do poets change their poetic meters by basing them on foreign models.
