- Summary
- "In this book Mario Luzi continues to explore, but in greater depth, the complexity of the relationship between writer, written word, and the world, as he had begun to do in his previous work, For the Baptism of Our Fragments (Guernica, 1991).".
- "This "salutary song" becomes a celebration of the richness of existence in all its forms that reached moments of arresting beauty and great lyric intensity, as the poet acknowledges that his debt of gratitude to the world is far from being extinguished, and that he has not fully expressed his appreciation for having had the opportunity to read and interpret the signs of the great book of nature.
- Phrases and Passages of a Salutary Song can be considered Luzi's spiritual testament and one of the high points of contemporary Italian poetry."--BOOK JACKET.
