Cantalesia: Poems in the Neapolitan Dialect (1900-1997) (Italian Poetry in Translation) (English, Italian and Italian Edition)

Achille Serrao who writes in the dialect of Caivano, a small town in Campania, deals with his "anxiety of influence," vis a vis the great melodic tradition of Neapolitan poetry represented by Salvatore Di Giacomo. He opts for the anti-melodic Neapolitan legacy from Basile, Capurro to Russo.
