Dino Campana: ORPHIC SONGS
(translated by Charles Wright) Perhaps Dino Campana is the ultimate Symbolist. Whatever we call him, the small body of prose and free verse he left us is magical and haunting in the way it combines the visual with the visionary.

Charles Wright, whose award-winning translation of Montale\'s The Storm launched the FIELD Translation Series, is Campana\'s ideal translator.

\"Wright\'s sensitive translation of Campana\'s Canti orfici captures the disturbing cadences and obsessive melodies of Campana\'s verse and allows the English-speaking reader entry into a compelling poetic universe. A most welcome addition.\"

Note for e-rich:

In English they are called \"Orphic Hymns\", the 200 hits on Google mostly explain that Orphic Hymns are chants of invocation
