One of the most important Italian poets of the last century, Vittorio Sereni (1913-83) explores life under fascism, military defeat and imprisonment, and the resurgence of extreme right-wing politics. The "Selected Poetry and Prose of Vittorio Sereni" is a unique guide to this poet. A bilingual edition, reissued in paperback for the poet's centenary, it collects Sereni's poems, criticism, and short fiction with a full chronology, commentary, bibliography, and learned introduction by British poet and scholar Peter Robinson.
