Exciting translation of Friulian regional minority language poets.

The translation of the anthology 'Poets from Friuli' is part of a larger and innovative project conceived by the translators to present 'Italian authors who do not speak/write/dream only in Italian but in regional languages, to reach the world in English'. In the third in this unique series Anna Bogaro presents parallel texts in Friulian and English from an extensive range of poets spanning the late nineteenth century to contemporary writers and including poems by the renowned film-maker, Pasolini.

There is a strong sense of time, of eternity, of spirituality that emerges in ancestral pre-Christian rites. Restless and inevitably connected to a singular land with a distinctive history, yet simultaneously eager to open to the world, the Friulian poets featured in this anthology are part of a long and well-established tradition in the panorama of literature in dialect that continues today. -- Publisher: Cinnamon Press
