With these words, in a note written specially for this volume, Italy's most distinguished poet introduces English-speaking readers to the poetry of Armando Patti (1914-1997). It is a body of work distinguished by rhythmic energy and requent wordplay, whose great subject is the interpenetration of the outer world and the shaping sensibility. These forty-four poems, selected for this volume by the poet's widow, highlight the full range of Patti's career and development, emphasizing the thematic coherence of his work in the midst of constant formal reinvention.
