Andrea Zanzotto on Poetry, Writing, and Corot in Art Press Interview

Andrea Zanzotto, a poet little known to French readers, publishes an anthology of poems and a short essay on Corot titled 'Vers, dans le paysage'. The Italian poet is the subject of a film by Ludwig Trovato, which aims to give him his due. In the context of this video, Art Press publishes Zanzotto's responses to Jean-Luc Muracciole's questions about the material act of writing, the pleasure of writing, titles, the relationship between poetry and popular culture, writing and the absurdity of the world, his journal, Hölderlin, surrealism, and finally, Corot.
