Fogli di studio 1984-85

Descripción

Square 4to. Dustwrapper darkened at spine and a little marked and frayed, image mounted on upper panel sometime torn (in unpacking of the book?) and repaired. From the library of the poet David Gascoyne, with the Gascoyne library book-label and, mounted artfully on the front free endpaper, Gascoyne's name, inscribed in the author's hand on brown paper (from the parcel?), and the author's address ditto. Roberto Sanesi (1930-2001) was Gascoyne's closest Italian ally. In the words of Richard Burns, his Independent obituarist, "Sanesi was a versatile, original and multi-faceted Italian poet who was gifted with an irrepressible curiosity, a polymath's intellect and a huge stamina for creative work. From his twenties until his death aged 70, he poured out more than 20 books of poetry, as well as prose narratives, opera librettos and radio scripts, a stream of important translations and works of art and literary criticism . . . Of all Sanesi's wide-ranging involvements, his deepest affinities, I believe, lay with T.S. Eliot and with the cluster of Anglo-Welsh poets and painters that included Dylan Thomas, Vernon Watkins and Ceri and Frances Richards.". N° de ref. del artículo G101651
