Summary:
"In this keen examination of Alfredo de Palchi's lyrical oeuvre, Giorgio Linguaglossa refers to de Palchi as the missing link in Italian poetry in the second half of the twentieth century. Through brilliant analysis, Linguaglossa gives us a complete picture of de Palchi's asymptomatic creative paradigm"-- Provided by publisher.
