Documenting, among others, the works of Balestrini, Giuliani, Pagliarani, Pasolini, Rosselli, Sanguineti, Villa, and Zanzotto, the second volume of \u003cem\u003eThose Who from Afar Look Like Flies\u003c\/em\u003e is a collection of poems and essays organized in a series of connected sections where stylistic or substantial changes in intent in the poetics of a group or an individual poet are documented. Offering an extensive, chronological exploration, authors whose stylistic developments underwent significant changes appear more than once. \u003cbr\u003eThis volume proves how Italian research poetry developed and advanced and elaborates upon the legacy of the historical avant-garde and of the neo-avant-garde. Authorities on Italian literature Luigi Ballerini and Beppe Cavatorta argue against the notion that in the mid-1970s experimental poetry ceased to be a viable social activity and demonstrate instead the resurgence and enhancement of the literary art form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Luigi Ballerini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487564678\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487564674\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/17\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 2120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Luigi Ballerini","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46867292094719,"sku":"9781487564674","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6a39ce7b-1138-47e6-832d-26d7da53694f.jpg?v=1747454391","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/those-who-from-afar-look-luigi-ballerini-9781487564674","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
