InVerse Italian Poets in Translation 2006
Edited by
Brunella Antomarini
Berenice Cocciolillo
Rosa Filardi
Alessandra Grego
The anthology collects all the poems read during the two evenings of InVerse 2006 with facing translation. It is also enriched by artist Andrea Malizia’s beautiful Portraits of Poets. Malizia’s photos are unusual and in a way “estranging” for their focus on details of bodies rather than on full representations. By focusing on details, he opens up new perspectives in the relationship between poets and poetry. The new perspectives provided by these poems and images may or may not coincide with depictions of reality, but are undoubtedly places where that reality is experienced in unique and fascinating ways.

This bilingual anthology is the final outcome of a project that began as a reading of contemporary Italian poets in the spring of 2005. At the root of the project was the desire to introduce English speakers to modern Italian poetry, since there are so many interesting authors who are as yet quite unknown internationally. So organizers/editors invited the poets themselves to read their work in Italian, and read the translations of the poems in English. Thus was In Verse born.
