Welcome to Italian poetry - October 2004

January 18, 2006 A steady creative and critical resource for the rapidly changing Italian cultural society, Villalta is active as both a poet and a cultural operator in a wider sense. He is also a novelist and his recent book (Tuo figlio, "Your Son", Mondadori, 2004) is enjoying both critical as well as public acclaim.

The texts published here include some poems found in collections published in Italy but never translated into other languages. There is also a poem that was never published before either in Italy or abroad. Happy reading!
