The Center for Italian Studies at the University of Pennsylvania
will celebrate the poetry of Guido Gozzano (1883-1916) with an
international conference to be held in Philadelphia October
29-30, 2015.
Is Gozzano the last poet of the Nineteenth Century or the fist one of the Twentieth Century? The conference deals with this ambivalence. Gozzano unbalances the relations between memory and innovation. Without participating in the European avant-gardes, he challenges the traditional statute of literature and creates the new authorial figure of a poet who moves out of his own poetry, looking at it with an external and ironic gaze.
