This collection is a testament to Dante's continuing, uncanny presence in twentieth-century poetry; a presence that appears, as Robert Lowell observed, "in the way most gratifying to a poet -- in the works of his fellow poets who write long after, in other styles and other languages." The collection brings together previously published essays by some of our most renowned poets: Pound, Eliot, Yeats, Montale, Borges, Lowell, Merrill, Nemerov, Auden, and Heaney.

This collection is a testament to Dante's continuing, uncanny presence in twentieth-century poetry; a presence that appears, as Robert Lowell observed, "in the way most gratifying to a poet -- in the works of his fellow poets who write long after, in other styles and other languages." The collection brings together previously published essays by some of our most renowned poets: Pound, Eliot, Yeats, Montale, Borges, Lowell, Merrill, Nemerov, Auden, and Heaney. But the editors have also commissioned new reflections on Dante by a number of others: Charles Wright, Jacqueline Osherow, J. D. McClatchy, W. S. Merwin, Robert Pinsky, Geoffrey Hill, Rosanna Warren, W. S. Di Piero, Daniel Halpern, Alan Williamson, Mark Doty, C. K. Williams, Mary Campbell, and Edward Hirsch. These poets approach Dante as both model and foil, in fresh responses to his legacy that are contentious as well as admiring. Together they attest to what Mandelstam called Dante's "inexhaustible contemporaneity."

New York. 2001. Farrar Straus Giroux. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0374235368. 406 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Abby Kagan. Jacket art by Tom Phillips-'Dante in His Study', 1983. keywords: Poetry Dante Anthology Literary Criticism. FROM THE PUBLISHER-The great fourteenth-century poet has been an unequaled influence on many writers in the twentieth century, whose 'confessions' may well foster a deeper appreciation of Dante. Previously published essays by some of this century's most renowned poets-Pound, Eliot, Mandelstam, Robert Fitzgerald, Borges, Merrill, Montale, Lowell, Duncan, Auden, Yeats, Charles Williams, Nemerov, Heaney-join new essays commissioned by the editors. Contemporary poets Mary Campbell, W. S. Di Piero, J. D. McClatchy, W. S. Merwin, Robert Pinsky, Rosanna Warren, Alan Williamson, and Charles Wright reflect on Dante as well as on their own complex (and often contentious) relationship to his legacy. Their engagement with his work offers a fresh perspective on the Commedia and its author that more academic writing does not provide. As the editors write, a new consideration of Dante 'should generate insights not only about his work but also about poetry written in our own language and time. ' inventory #34012.
