The poems are composed in a variety of styles and metres, from sonnets to free verse; and in a range of moods, from grief to hilarity. Although deeply personal, the collection includes 18 poems (cannily selected and translated by the author) from Sappho, Lucretius, Dante, Cecco, Cavalcanti, Petrarch, Campanella, Leopardi, Pascoli, Cardarelli, Hugo, Baudelaire, Mallarme', Stefan George, Hesse, and Rilke, Several of the poems and translations are prefaced or followed by the author's explanatory notes and comments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePOIKILOPAIDIA incorporates the 22 poems previously published (in \u003cem\u003eTwilight with Halfmoon Rising: Selected Poems, \u003c\/em\u003eby Peter Gimpel (1991).\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 258\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.58 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 17, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45911079289029,"sku":"9780985519940","price":32.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/qtYlAE3i4N9780985519940.webp?v=1772060892","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/poikilopaidia-poems-1960-2020-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
