46 sonnets by G. G. Belli (1791-1863). "Harold Norse translated the bawdy Roman sonnets of Belli in 1955, while living in Rome. Now a widely recognized classic since its original publication by Jargon in 1960, the book is much admired and cherished by a devoted and growing cult. The work is unique as it remains the only translation in English of the "obscene" 19th century Roman poet who was, in his own lifetime, what we would call today ''underground'', because of his daring candor and racy vulgarity. Norse, equally "underground", was hailed by William Carlos Williams not only for his own poetic achievement, but for the masterful originality of these translations." - back cover.
