Dino Campana wrote the unique, visionary masterwork of Italian literature Orphic Songs when he was in his twenties. The originality, rapturous language, and strange beauty of his poetry make him as important to twentieth-century poetry as García Lorca or Mayakovsky. Campana was the wild man of Italian poetry in 1914, on the eve of World War I. The war saved some young Italians from rebellion and from Fascism, but not Campana. Always an outsider, he was a vagabond who worked now and then as a gaucho, miner, fireman, organ-grinder, janitor, circus tumbler, horse groomer, and a wandering musician with a Gypsy band. He died in Castel Pulci, a psychiatric hospital, in 1932."Dino Campana's small and intensely magical body of poetry from the early years of the last century–prose and free verse that combine the visual and the visionary with astonishing vigor and haunting grace–is little known to English-speaking readers." —Oberlin College PressDino Campana (1885-1932) was an Italian lyricist and poet, known for his flamboyant personality. His only collection of poems is found in Orphic Songs. In 1918 he was admitted into a mental hospital and lived the rest of his life there.

Poetry. Translation. Dino Campana is without a doubt one of the most striking, dramatic, and exciting figures in Italian literature, and certainly one of the most disputed and controversial. Because this brilliant masterpiece, CANTI ORFICI, occupies such a unique and powerful place in Italian poetry, it is of fundamental importance for twentieth-century Italian literature. Interest in Campana has been growing steadily in the last twenty years, as witnessed by the proliferation of critical and biographical studies, and while translator of this book, Mario Luzi, has defined CANTI ORFICI as "il libro piu libro, piu 'oeuvre' del nostro Novecento" [the book more book, more "oeuvre" of our twentieth century], there are those who are now unabashedly calling Campana one of the greatest poets of the century.

I Canti Orfici (1914) di Dino Campana sono stati al centro di uno dei casi più controversi della storia della letteratura italiana. Fu composta nel 1913 in una prima stesura che portava il titolo "Il più lungo giorno" e fu consegnata per la pubblicazione a Giovanni Papini e a Ardengo Soffici. Per lungo tempo l'autografo si considerò perduto e venne ritrovato solamente nel 1971 tra le carte di Soffici. Il libro di Campana si alterna tra la prosa e i versi ad imitare Rimbaud e Baudelaire che erano stati i precursori nel creare un rapporto tra i due codici linguistici in una stessa opera unitaria. Dino Campana è stato accostato per gusto poetico al Simbolismo francese, alle avanguardie europee d'inizio Novecento e alla poesia orale toscana. Prima del suo definitivo internamento in una casa di cura presso Badia a Settimo (Scandicci), viaggiò per molti paesi europei e in Sudamerica. Nota anche la problematica relazione con la famosa scrittrice Sibilla Aleramo. Nel libro una biografia dell'autore ed una scheda sull'opera.
