Book Description
In this keen examination of Alfredo de Palchi’s lyrical oeuvre, Giorgio Linguaglossa refers to de Palchi as the missing link in Italian poetry in the second half of the twentieth century. From page one of this study, de Palchi’s voice is in constant dialogue with the Italian poets of his time. Linguaglossa gives us a complete picture of the relationship between de Palchi’s asymptomatic creative paradigm and what was taking place around him. While the majority of de Palchi’s life was spent outside of Italy, he continued to engage with Italy in his poetry, in translating Italian poets into English and for close to fifty years as co-editor, with Sonia Raiziss, of Chelsea magazine, a biannual that published a significant number of translations of twentieth-century Italian poets. Through Chelsea magazine de Palchi also became a conduit, bringing Italian poetry to non-Italian-speaking poetry aficionados in the United States. It is especially his own verse, written outside the geocultural boundaries that we know as Italy, which makes this study by Giorgio Linguaglossa all the more important.

Book Description
Here de Palchi defies the idea of evolutionary progress, asserting that violence levels all creatures and brings them back to their primeval state. The cycle of poems presents a view of history turned upside down: history does not instruct, does not help, but only repeats the great struggle, pitting human beings against other humans beings, human beings against animals, animals against other animals. --Xenos Books. De Palchi is both tough and imaginative. He is absolutely uncompromising, and his poems are painful and exalting to read. One does not come away from his stark and terrible and hilarious work untouched. --James Dickey.

Book Description
Poetry. Bilingual Edition. Translated from the Italian by Sonia Raiziss. THE SCORPIAN'S DARK DANCE is a collection of powerful short poems by the distinguished New York author and publisher, written when he was a young prisoner of the Fascists at the end of World War II. Includes a short introduction by the translator. "His harsh, unrelenting stance and his beautiful and disquieting imagery belong to one who draws in the dark while longing for the light."—World Literature Today "De Palchi masterfully creates and expands singularly intense metaphors that sometimes convey a stony, Dantesque harshness or else a transcendent Montalean complexity. There are glimpses of redemption and self-insight, but they occur only intermittently and are clearly hard-won."—Small Press

A Little Tour Through European Poetry

A Little Tour Through European Poetry PDF Author: John Taylor

Book Description
This book is both a sequel to author John Taylor's earlier volume Into the Heart of European Poetry and something different. It is a sequel because this volume expands upon the base of the previous book to include many more European poets. It is different in that it is framed by stories in which the author juxtaposes his personal experiences involving European poetry or European poets as he travels through different countries where the poets have lived or worked. Taylor explores poetry from the Czech Republic, Denmark, Lithuania, Albania, Romania, Turkey, and Portugal, all of which were missing in the previous gathering, analyzes heady verse written in Galician, and presents an important poet born in the Chuvash Republic. His tour through European poetry also adds discoveries from countries whose languages he reads fluently-Italy, Germany (and German-speaking Switzerland), Greece, and France. Taylor's model is Valery Larbaud, to whom his criticism, with its liveliness and analytical clarity, is often compared. Readers will enjoy a renewed dialogue with European poetry, especially in an age when translations are rarely reviewed, present in literary journals, or studied in schools. This book, along with Into the Heart of European Poetry, motivates a dialogue by bringing foreign poetry out of the specialized confines of foreign language departments.

Book Description
Poetry. In ADDICTIVE AVERSIONS we encounter the life-force of sex, expressed in the individual body of the poet, but just as blind, asocial and irresistible, hence the title. Alfredo de Palchi is both tough and imaginative. He is absolutely uncompromising, and his poems are painful and exalting to read. One does not come away from his stark and terrible and hilarious work untouched. James Dickey [De Palchi's poetry] casts a revealing light on the dubious existential foundations of all mankind...these disturbing poems cumulate into a redoubtable wisdom -- The Antioch Review. Translated from the Italian by Sonia Raiziss and others.

Book Description
Poetry. Translated by John Taylor. Edited by Karl Kvitko. Cover art by Luce de Palchi. The great Italian poet Alfredo de Palchi died in August of this year at age 93 after a long, defiant and mocking poetical battle with Lady Leukemia. TERMINAL EVENTS ends a life in poetry well planned: it presents an imagined discourse with poet Eugenio Montale, a fanciful and self-deprecatory autobiography, and a liberation of the planet Earth from the cruelty of man, with de Palchi's undying rage against violence, his glorification of Mother Nature and his love of freedom much in evidence. Amazing Alfredo de Palchi! Ever since the turn of the century, which also coincides with his increasing and serious health problems, the hard-working and very determined Italian poet continues to aim his frank and fierce poetry at endings, not to mention apocalypses. Although this theme is also present in his early work, it nonetheless now stands in greater contrast to another key theme that runs through his previous writing: the search for and examination of the origin, the first principle, or the first cause... the whole scope of a lifetime for this poet whose passion for living, writing poetry, and publishing work by other poets has deeply impressed all of us who have had the chance of working with him and knowing him well.--John Taylor
