…Linh Dinh presents Seven Contemporary Italian Poets (very recent feature from January 2009). In addition to poems in translation, the profile also includes an interview with poet Gherardo Bortolotti that I thought was worth reading. It touches on how American culture influences Italian writing (he also mentions American writers who are held in high regard there) and on current literary movements in Italy (appropriately, the American movement of Flarf/sought poetry has made its way over there via the internet… thanks, K.
