Description - Contagion of Matter by Valerio Magrelli

His works having already been translated the world over into as many as six different languages from their original Italian, Valerio Magrelli is one of the most innovative and exciting poets writing today. Hailed by figures as diverse as Octavio Paz and Dana Gioia, Magrelli is widely regarded as the foremost Italian poet of his generation. This latest collection of his poetry, translated into English by Anthony Molino, reflects a dazzling kaleidoscope of genres—including poems, prose pieces, reportage, translations, and anagrams—and reinforces the poet's talent as a writer. Magrelli's writing often employs word plays and classical rhythms to adorn and enhance his poetry. Molino carefully retains the precision of Magrelli's words as he deftly carries these linguistic games across the language barrier.
