Umberto Saba: the Collection of Poems. Umberto Saba's Poetry Translated in English - Paperback

by Alessandro Baruffi (Author)

Today, Umberto Saba (pseudonym of Umberto Poli, 1883-1957) is widely recognized as one of the most prominent European poets of the 20th century. His verses, tinged with melancholy and filled with compassion for the world's misery, are expressed in a language characterized by a sophisticated simplicity: light and rich of everyday words, yet musical and profound in poetic effect.
