Xenia

Montale's Xenia, here in a new translation, was first published in 1966 and might be described as Italy's The Waste Land. This now-famous sequence came in profound response to the death, in 1963, of his beloved wife. An ark of precious artefacts lost in a flood also resurface in the poem as a metaphor for a loss both personal and historical.
