Il fuoco dello sguardo. Collected poems

Trama

Novelist, draughtsman, filmmaker, essayist, and critic - John Berger is one of the major European intellectuals of our time. For sixty years he has been challenging the way we see the world and how we think about it but although Berger has always written poetry, this is the first time his poetry has been collected in English. These are perfectly framed still-life images, sensual and plain, delicate sketches of hard lives caught between the provisional quality of language and the permanence of things. John Berger's Collected Poems reveals its author to be a major poet of our time.
