George Hochfield is professor of English, emeritus, State University of New York at Buffalo. Leonard Nathan has published many volumes of poetry, as well as numerous translations, prose works, and articles on poetry.
"An invaluable resource for English-speaking scholars and lovers of
modern Italian poetry, one that will certainly make its way into
hundreds of libraries, and become a main point of reference for
professors and students who will address the fundamental importance
of Saba's poetry for many years to come."-Philip Balma,

from, this deeply haunting poet."-Rosanna Warren, The New
