Thanks, Alison, for the introduction and hello all (hi
Erminia!)
Brian Cole at www.brindinpress.com has some
interesting new translations of Ungaretti. I'd hoped
to have them in the Winter issue of The Drunken Boat
but we couldn't get permission from Canali to reprint
anything online. Evidently they're reluctant as there
are plans to bring out a comprehensive translation in
the U.S. in the near future, so any other translations
will have to stay in pocket or in desk.
I hope you'll all take a look at The Drunken Boat. I
also have some of Erminia's poetry in an earlier issue
and her essay on the UN Dialogue among Civilizations.
