Ferlinghettiâs fiery translation of the little-known 14th-century Roman poet
Sensual and glimmering, Lorenzo Chieraâs elliptical fragments evoke nights of bawdy excess in Trastevere (âCity made of Roman ruins . . . / what a whorehouse!â), translated here by one of the most renowned poets of our time.
In his preface, Lawrence Ferlinghetti describes the experience of reading Chiera for the first time: âWe soon realize we are in the presence of a savage erotic consciousness, as if the lust-driven senses were suddenly awakened out of a hoary sleep of a thousand years, a youth shaken awake by a rude medieval hand, senses still reeling, drunk in the hold of some slave ship, not knowing night from day nor sight from sound, the eye and the ear and the nose confounding each other, not yet knowing which function each was to take up in the quivering dawn.â
