Said Professor Rebecca West in a review, quoted on the rear cover : "Molino's translations of Valerio Magrelli's poetry bring to the English-speaking readers some of the most astounding verse to be found in contemporary Italian letters. Here, a great deal of precious cargo has made it intact to the shores of the English Speaking world, and we are enriched by the arrival of such rich, strange and new matter."
