The bilingual InVerse anthologies feature the works of well known contemporary poets who already belong to the history of Italian poetry, in addition to younger and lesser known poets whom the editors believe deserve to be recognized. Every anthology collects the work of the poets who take part in the InVerse Poetry Festival, held at John Cabot University every few years. At the root of the project is the desire to introduce English speakers to modern Italian poetry. For this reason, we take great pride in supporting the art of translation. This is the eighth edition of the anthology, which gives over time, a comprehensive and independent overview of the Italian poetic milieu.
