Blackout

By Nanni Balestrini

A new book of poetry by Italy's iconic revolutionary author offers a requiem for the generation of 1968, imagining a blackout a la New York's famous moment of chaos and in this framework trying to understand the political events that led to the massive repression and destruction of a generation. Ferocious, despairing, beautiful line by line, this book captures the era we cannot stop leaving. This is the first time Balestrini's poetry has been published in English.
