GUIDO CAVALCANTI (c.1250–1300) of Florence was one of the first to create a new style of poetry, the dolce stil nuovo, that was to inspire Dante. Cavalcanti's poetry sings of relationship and the metaphors of love that transcend the sexual and the romantic. Cirigliano breaks with Rossetti’s and Pound’s translations in offering the contemporary reader the full passion of this master in a verse that is elegant and direct. Dual-Language Poetry. A New Translation by Marc Cirigliano. Introduction, notes, and first-line index.— Google Books
