{"product_id":"haiku-for-a-season-haiku-per-una-stagione","title":"Haiku for a Season \/ Haiku per una stagione","description":"Andrea Zanzotto is one of the most important and acclaimed poets of postwar Italy. This collection of ninety-one pseudo-haiku in English and Italian - written over several months during 1984 and then revised slowly over the years - confirms his commitment to experimentation throughout his life. \"Haiku for a Season\" represents a multilevel experiment for Zanzotto: first, to compose poetry bilingually; and second, to write in a form foreign to Western poetry. The volume traces the life of a woman from youth to adulthood, using the seasons and the varying landscape as a mirror to reflect her growth and changing attitudes and perceptions. With a lifelong interest in the intersections of nature and culture, Zanzotto displays here his usual precise and surprising sense of the living world. These never-before-published original poems in English appear alongside their Italian versions - not strict translations but parallel texts that can be read separately or in conjunction with the originals. As a sequence of interlinked poems, \"Haiku for a Season\" also reveals Zanzotto as a master poet of minimalism.\nZanzotto's recent death is a blow to world poetry, and the publication of this book, the last that he approved in manuscript, will be an event in both the United States and in Italy.","brand":"The University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32031918620755,"sku":"","price":22.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780226922218_e8e2960b-3fde-4ab3-8c0e-12e36e9465c0.jpg?v=1747887331","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/haiku-for-a-season-haiku-per-una-stagione","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
