<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Dante's <em>Purgatorio</em> has been described as the most 'human' of the three parts of his <em>Comedy</em>, and it can also be seen as a 'singing school' for poets. This new complete translation by sixteen contemporary poets enters into dialogue with Dante's text by rendering it in a variety of different Anglophone voices - American, Australian, British, Irish, Jamaican, Scottish and Singaporean. The poets in this <em>Purgatorio </em>adopt a range of forms, from blank verse to <em>terza rima</em>, and their translations are accompanied by explanatory notes, a 'prelude' of poems about Purgatory, and a 'postscript' of newly-translated medieval Italian lyrics relating to Dante and his poem.</p>
