LA MUERTE TIBIEZA DE LOS BOSQUES

The linguistic spectrum of Andrea Zanzotto's poetry spans from his native language, Venitian, to terms drawn from countless languages, both living and dead. His poetry also explores diverse forms of meaning, whether gibberish, children's songs, onomatopoeia, or silence--the expression of his singular uncertainty amid a world of agitation and forgetting that seems to inflict its injuries on its own landscape.
