World Poetry, paperback
Translated by: Danielle Pieratti
Publication Date: May 22, 2025
Publisher Marketing: Brimming with windows, screens, and high-rise glass, Maria Borio's visceral and surreal English-language debut confronts the interpersonal crises of contemporary lives caught between two worlds—one ancient and abiding, the other rapid, digital, and increasingly diverse. Translator Danielle Pieratti captures the dissonance of Borio's sharp lyricism and clipped rhythms, creating a contemporary English-language poetry that preserves the poet's engagement with Italian modernisms. First published by World Poetry Books in 2022, this revised and re-designed second edition (2025) includes a new Translator's Note by Pierrati.
