Modern Rome’s Greatest Poet?

We’re taking a breather to plug a couple of pieces of literary news. Just out online is the Fall 2007 issue of BigCityLit which contains my poem “Time Traveler”. In other news, this month’s edition of The American carries my interview with Mike Stocks about his recently published translation of the Roman poet G. G. Belli. This is the first new translation into English in over 25 years of this extraordinary–if too-often overlooked–poet whose massive opus of over 2000 sonnets paints an unparalleled picture of 19th century Rome and its people.
