About this ebook

Eugenio Montale’s idiosyncratic poetry has challenged many English-language translators because of its obscure, often cryptic language. This essential anthology of Montale's work, the latest and most comprehensive English translation of this century, features poems from his masterpiece collections "Ossi di Seppia" (Cuttlefish Bones, 1925,) "Le Occasioni" (The Occasions, 1939,) and "Xenia” (1966.)
