Allegria by Giuseppe Ungaretti
3.0
Thank you Archipelago and Netgalley for the e-copy.
Researching more into the author and on the poetry book itself really made me appreciate it even more.
I requested this poetry book not only because I’m falling in love with Archipelago Publishing but also because it was a poetry book by an Italian author. As I grew up in Italy and consider myself Italian, I wanted to read something in Italian as well, and reading the Italian poems followed by the English translated version of them made me experience them twice and made me love each single one more and more.
These poems are deep and heavy, as they are his experience with war.
These poems aren’t only about war but they’re also about the self.
I'm so glad I got to read this poetry collection and being able to experience them to the fullest.
Would definitely recommend it if you love deep and beautiful poetry that will make you think about other’s experiences with heavy moments in their lives, and in general if you love poetry that allows you to think deep and wonder.
