About The Author
Eugenio Montale
Eugenio Montale produced only five volumes of poetry in his first 50 years as a writer. When the Swedish Academy awarded the Italian poet and critic the 1975 Nobel Prize for Literature, they called him “one of the most important poets of the contemporary West.” Born in Genoa, Italy, in 1896, Montale had a long and distinguished career as a translator and critic in addition to his poetic achievements.
