AbstractHistoryArchive Description

This new collection offers three works taken from different periods: ‘At the Onset of Turbulence’ (1989), ‘Frieze’ (2001) and ‘Erasure Traces’ (2006), the last two of which continue the experimental mode of Montale: A Biographical Anthology (Collected Works Volume 1). As in that work, this book invites us into a world of complex connections, both lyrical and humorous, formally innovative and poetically daring.

Notes
