 | Excellent Selection of Italian Poetry, Prose and Environmental Writing Aug 27, 2008 |
From Back cover:
"This collection brings together for the first time - in Italy or for an English-speaking audience - a collection of over 40 authors from the deep and broad tradition of Italian environmental writing. Poetry and prose, the essay, political and economic thought, and the new visual arts are represented in this anthology."
From Foreword:
"Environmental thought and writing in America have long profited from their dialogue with Italy's literature of the earth. From a certain perspective, the modern environmental movement might even be said to have begun in Italy. It was in this ancient land and culture, after all, while serving as Abraham Lincoln's ambassador, that George Perkins Marsh wrote his 1864 masterpiece 'Man and Nature.' His book, which Lewis Mumford has characterized as 'the fountainhead of the conservation movement,' was the first to argue in a scientifically informed way that human actions could inflict significant, long-lasting damage on natural systems. In its critique of deforestation, especially, in Marsh's book contributed to the 1873 Timber Culture Act, 1885 founding of the Adirondack State Park, and the 1891 Forest Reserves Act. The last of these, in William Cronon's words, 'created national forests as we know them today.' Marsh's writing also strongly influenced the establishment of Yellowstone in 1872 as the first national park in the world. I am convinced that these benefits all flowed directly from the inspiration of Italian landscapes and culture in Marsh's life, and from the ways in which they helped him take a much longer view of the ravaged mountains in his native Vermont.
Indeed, one of the gifts Italy offers to American writers and thinkers has always been a deeper and more complex historical vision. In exploring the dialogue of nature and culture, Italian authors frequently look back, not only to past writers such as Lucretius and Virgil, but also to the mythic, pastoral, and agricultural history of the peninsula. For them....
All of the represented authors have lived and written within the past century and a half. One of the realities of Italian life in this period - extending right up through the decade after World War II - has been the dire poverty of many country people. Living at the edge of starvation may sometimes lend an hallucinatory vividness to sensory perception, as it did so many years earlier for the voluntarily famished St. Francis. In addition, though, the pervasive fact of such deprivation often leads to a heightened concern for social and economic justice in writers like Grazi Deledda and Carlo Levi.
...
Finally, it is important to note the highly localized nature of many of these entries, in time as well as in space. In this regard, as the present-day bioregionalist Giuseppe Moretti regularly explores in the review 'Lato Selvatico,' the traditional Italian experience of landscape and seasons has a marked affinity with the American bioregional movement. Not only are ecology and culture seen as mutually reinforcing expressions of a watershed, but their connections are also most clearly revealed through attentiveness to a single, closely defined place on earth. The astounding originality of a poet like Andrea Zanzotto is inseparable from lifelong fidelity to the rural district where he was born. Sometimes the pieces in this collection - poetry and prose alike - seem a litany of sacred place names and a calendar of holy days. Such passionate affiliation with a landscape may remind readers of such contemporary figures as Terry Tempest Williams and Rick Bass in our own literature. Through such connections and many more, this remarkable anthology fosters and renews the dialogue between Italian and American literature that has long proven so fruitful, and that has never been more urgent than it is today."
- John Elder, Middlebury College
From Introduction:
"The selections in this anthology explore a wide range of Italian landscapes, wild and ran, mountainous and flat, northern and southern, and all characterized by the complex relationships of human beings and the land... Italy is rife with overlaying human and nonhuman signs of residence and alteration..
Certainly Italy's relatively late entrance as a dominant international, economic and industrial force in the mid-20th C. has by now brought many ills that threaten its environmental health, from air and water pollution to urban sprawl and the seemingly endless proliferation of the automobile. Many of its vernacular landscapes, from the small-scale farms of the Po Valley that have given way to corporate agriculture, to small agrarian villages swallowed up by the expansion of major cities such as Bologna, Milan, and Florence, are in danger of erasure. The landscapes of mountainous villages on marginal agricultural lands throughout the length of the Italian peninsula, many of which were abandoned during the large-scale migrations to large urban centers and foreign countries that took place throughout the 20th C., are now verging on partial, if not complete, disappearance. Many local traditions, dialects, and practices are on the decline. On the other hand, with the abandonment of medium- to high-altitude farm and grazing lands, many endangered animals, such as the wolf and chamois, have regained habitat and are on the comeback. Numerous national parks, often styled in part on American models, have been established in the past two decades, from the Parco Nazionale della Majella in Abruzzo to the Parco Nazionale delle Foreste Casentinesi in Tuscany.
Some of the authors [in this anthology], such as Corrado Alvaro and Nuto Revelli, reveal what it was like to live as a poor sharecropping peasant, or an indebted shepherd tending the cattle and sheep of the local petty nobility. Others, from Iganzio Silone and Carlo Levi to Italo Calvino and Pier Paolo Pasolini, describe the effects of the extensive pre- and post-fascist land 'reforms,' as well as the massive and chaotic proliferation of cities following the Second World War, especially of Rome and Milan. Still others, such as Laura Conti and Antonio Cederna, speak out against past and continuing environmental abuses, from air and water pollution to the destruction of wild animal habitats. | | | Write your own review about Journal-Lord Is My Light
