About

When Robert Pinsky's new verse translation of the Inferno was published in hardcover in 1994, Pinsky was praised for "creating a supple American equivalent for Dante's vernacular music where many others have failed" (Edward Hirsch, The New Yorker). Now Pinsky is serving as Poet Laureate of the United States, and the ample, elegant Inferno featuring Michael Mazur's illustrations is available at last in a paperback edition.

In addition to Mazur's thirty-five monotypes, this edition presents the Italian text and English translation on facing pages, explanatory notes, and a Foreword by the leading Dante scholar John Freccero.
