Fiction. Born in the Italian province of Parma, Romeo Musa (1882-1960) was an accomplished painter, photographer, illustrator and poet. His enchanting children's tale, LA LUNA SUL SALICE, draws on the folktale tradition of Parma. Translated as THE MOON ON THE WILLOWTREE, Musa here expands imaginatively on this tradition, both textually and pictorially, to create a fascinating cast of animal characters. Translated and edited by Adelia V. Williams.

“Oracular, almost biblical at times, and as deeply embedded in the particulars of nature as the superb later poetry.”—John Ashbery This reissue of A. R. Ammons’s debut, published five decades ago in a rare edition, with its penetrating “Whitmanian chants . . . holds in it the mystery of his gradual development into a major American poet, who will be read by the most discerning until the last syllable of recorded time” (Harold Bloom).
