Seller's Description:
Near Fine. A Near Fine copy of the First Edition (stated, with complete number line) with a touch of edgewear to navy illustrated wraps. 101pp., 16mo-over 5¾ in. -6¾ in. Translated by Stefania Heim. // 'Gathered from early twentieth-century Italian magazines, manuscripts, correspondence, television recordings, and ephemeral art volumes, Geometry of Shadows is the first comprehensive collection of Giorgio de Chirico's Italian poetry, with award-winning poet Stefania Heim's translations presented alongside the Italian originals. De Chirico's poems are as essential and as mysterious as his paintings. --Jhumpa Lahiri A multifaceted artist who lived in multiple languages, de Chirico was just becoming famous in France for the paintings that inspired surrealism when he returned to Italy in 1916 to enlist for the First World War. Quickly determined unfit for the front line, de Chirico was assigned to desk duty and began to write poems in his native language. Translating his iconic visual imagination into literary form, Geometry of Shadows is a gorgeous document celebrating the elasticity and innate potential of language, by an artist ever in pursuit of deeper understanding.
