The UC Davis Department of French and Italian Cordially Invites You to
Esploratrici solitarie
[Solitary Female Explorers]
with Professor Paolo Valesio
Giuseppe Ungaretti Professor Emeritus in Italian Literature, Columbia University
Editor in Chief, Italian Poetry Review
Thursday, April 25th, 2019
10:30 AM — 12:00 PM
912 Sproul Hall
In this talk, Prof. Valesio will discuss his latest work, Esploratrici solitarie (Solitary Female Explorers, 2018), a book of poems with a narrative thread, rather than simply a collection of disparate poems. The "female explorers" are not characters in the poems: they are personifications of the poems (le poesie) themselves.
