This review is from: Orphic Songs (Field Translation Series) (Hardcover)
Dino Campana was an Italian visionary poet, and in his lifetime he published only one book of poetry - the Canti Orfici. He paints with words; colours are blended with sounds, sometimes lightly, and other times he seems to stab the canvas with his brush. The first poem that I ever read by Campana was Our Roses and I instantly fell in love with his work. His writing has a beautiful balance of lightness and a feeling of impending ruin. Indeed, he was known for his wild and erratic personality and this is echoed in his writing. The translator, Charles Wright, captures this essence beautifully.
