Orphic Songs and Other Poems by Dino Campana: Translated with an Introduction and Notes by Luigi Bonaffini
Orphic Songs is a fundamental text in modern Italian literature, and one of the most original, interesting and controversial. Considered by many to be the greatest Italian expressionist poet and the founder of modern Italian poetry for his unprecedented innovative and iconoclastic style, Campana holds a unique and fascinating place in Italian letters, and has captured the imagination of generations of poets and readers alike. Campana's stature as a major literary figure has been growing steadily since Orphic Songs was first published in 1914, and his book is now well established as an authentic Italian masterpiece.

Praise for this book
«...bene ha fatto Bonaffini a recuperare, oltre al nucleo canonico degli 'Orfici', anche altre poesie più o meno rare o disperse che però, col tempo, vanno rivelandosi ineludibili nell' 'opus' campaniano, e che non comparivano nelle precedenti traduzioni americane...» (Luigi Fontanella, America Oggi)
«Luigi Bonaffini's thoughtful, measured translation of Campana's lyrics at once partakes of this aura of celebration surrounding the poet, and is a ... special moment for Campana studies, in that it makes available for the first time in English the entire 'Canti Orfici'. ...by far the most accurate translation of 'Canti Orfici' we have yet seen.» (Craig R. Frisch, Rivista di Studi Italiani)
