The most comprehensive collection in English of the founder of modern Italian poetry

Giovanni Pascoli (1855-1912)--the founder of modern Italian poetry and one of Italy's most beloved poets--has been compared to Robert Frost for his evocation of natural speech, his bucolic settings, and the way he bridges poetic tradition and the beginnings of modernism. Featuring verse from throughout his career, and with the original Italian on facing pages, Selected Poems of Giovanni Pascoli is a comprehensive and authoritative collection of a fascinating and major literary figure.

Reading this poet of nature, grief, and small-town life is like traveling through Italy's landscapes in his footsteps--from Romagna and Bologna to Rome, Sicily, and Tuscany--as the country transformed from an agrarian society into an industrial one. Mixing the elevated diction of Virgil with local slang and the sounds of the natural world, these poems capture sense-laden moments: a train's departure, a wren's winter foraging, and the lit windows of a town at dusk. Incorporating revolutionary language into classical scenes, Pascoli's poems describe ancient rural dramas--both large and small--that remain contemporary.

Framed by an introduction, annotations, and a substantial chronology, Taije Silverman and Marina Della Putta Johnston's translations render the variety, precision, and beauty of Pascoli's poetry with a profoundly current vision.

Comfortable
Size: 9, Color: Black/Ivory
Most comfortable and roomy shoes I ever wore. Great for insoles. Looks nice too. The base of the shoe is a bit too thick but it’s fine.

Mens Pirate Coat Steampunk Jacket Tailcoat
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
This pirate‑style steampunk tailcoat is a fantastic piece if you’re looking for something dramatic and eye‑catching. The design has that perfect mix of Renaissance flair and steampunk attitude, with sharp lines, bold detailing, and a flattering cut that instantly elevates any costume. It feels well‑constructed for the price, with stitching that holds up and fabric that has enough weight to drape nicely without feeling stiff. The fit is surprisingly good — structured in the shoulders, tapered in the waist, and long enough in the back to give that classic tailcoat silhouette. Whether you’re using it for cosplay, themed parties, festivals, or stage performances, it adds a ton of character and presence. If you want a jacket that looks impressive, photographs beautifully, and brings a whole vibe to your outfit, this one is a great choice.

Great fit & light weight
Size: Large, Color: Green, Size: Large, Color: Green
I was a little worried this wasn’t going to fit my husband. It looked huge. We ordered a size large, he’s typically a medium fit but he has a broad chest/ shoulders. I’m pleased to say that it was a great fit. I steamed it to release the wrinkles without any issues. Exactly as pictured, nice and light weight. Would definitely recommend.
