Tutte le poesie
by Cattafi Bartolo
Bartolo Cattafi’s was one of the most original voices in contemporary Italian poetry. Yet, despite the attestations of some of the greatest critics and poets of the 20th century, his verses have so far remained dispersed or only available in anthological form. The edition of Tutte le poesie (All Poems) edited by Diego Bertelli offers for the first time a complete overview of Cattafi’s oeuvre: the reader will find his entire poetic production collected here, accompanied by a detailed chronology, an extensive apparatus of information on the texts and an up-to-date bibliography. The volume is enriched by a series of appendices in which dispersed poems and those published in plaquettes, artist’s books and bibliophile editions are brought together. The introduction, signed by Raoul Bruni, re-examines Cattafi’s reception in the 20th-century canon, highlighting the innovations that make him, today more than ever, a poet of European stature.
