The Selected Poetry Of Pier Paolo Pasolini, by Pier Paolo Pasolini and translated by Stephen Sartarelli from Italian, brings Italian-language poetry from Italy into English through Pasolini’s selected poetry, political tenderness, and the restless wound between public life and private desire. Because it is a selected volume, the book also has a curatorial task: to make one poet’s range feel available without pretending to exhaust it. I would read it for Pasolini, politics, desire, and the vulnerable intelligence of a poet who would not separate body from history, not as a fixed lesson about Italy. The best entry point is still the poem itself: the line that catches, the image that refuses to explain itself, the feeling that arrives before paraphrase. The Selected Poetry Of Pier Paolo Pasolini belongs in the translated poetry library because it belongs as a major Italian entry where poetry, cinema, politics, and sexuality converge.
