Book Synopsis
The author is one of the most important and acclaimed poets of postwar Italy. This title represents a multilevel experiment for him: first, to compose poetry bilingually; and second, to write in a form foreign to Western poetry. It reveals him as a master poet of minimalism.

Trade Review
"Composed directly in English during a period of writer's block and later 'translated' by the poet himself into facing semi-independent Italian versions, Andrea Zanzotto's fascinating Haiku for a Season constitutes a singular addition to world literature: a classic poetic form handled deftly by a master innovator and one of Europe's major poetic voices." (John P. Welle, University of Notre Dame)"
