Shelton.Italian poet, critic, and translator, was awarded the
Nobel Prize for Literature in 1959.Quasimodo's works fall roughly into two periods,
divided by World War II.His early poems were difficult with their metaphysical and highly
personalized imagery, but in later works he was more concerned with the interpretation of
contemporary history, social conditions, horrors of war, and the problems of human
suffering.Quasimodo was born in Modica, a small town near Syracuse, Sicily, as the son of a railway
officer.In 1926 he was appointed to the government Civil Engineering

introduced him to the lirerary circles.His first collection of poems,
Acque e Terre (Water and Land), was published in 1930.Quasimodo was named
in 1941 professor of Italian literature at Milan's Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory.Quasimodo's first wife Bice Donetti died in 1948, and he married the dancer Maria
Cumani.They separated permanently in 1960.His daughter Orietta was born out of
wedlock in 1935 to Amelia Specialetti.Quasimodo's last four volumes of verse show a
continuing concern for social justice, fond memories of past friends and past loves."Poetry, even lyrical poetry, is always 'speech.The listener may be the physical or
metaphysical interior of the poet, or a man, or a thousand men."Recurrent themes in Quasimodo's works are memories of childhood and Sicily.He recalls
certain landscapes, his experiences of them, what they meant to him, and connects his
impressions to historical and literary associations, and the cultural heritage from Greeks,
Romans, Arabs, and other invaders.Tartuffe), Homer,
