In this episode, host Clayton McKee talks with poet and translator Marc Alan Di Martino about his translations of Mario Dell'Arco's poetry written originally in Romanesco. Marc collected much (not all!) of Dell'Arco's work in the collection Day Lasts Forever, published by World Poetry Books. You can read a sampling of his translation in Trafika Europe's All Poetry Issue. In February 2026, the collection won the Joseph Tusiani Italian Translation Prize. Read about it here.

You can read Di Martino's translation of Mauro Marè mentioned at the end of the interview at this link.
