A landmark work from one of the twentieth century's most celebrated poets, It Depends: A Poet's Notebook presents the intimate reflections, aphorisms, and critical musings of Eugenio Montale, the 1975 Nobel Laureate in Literature. Translated from the Italian, this collection chronicles Montale's thoughts on poetry, art, music, and the human condition in a series of compressed, luminous prose fragments that read with the same precision and intensity as his verse. The notebook format allows Montale to argue against easy interpretation, insisting that meaning in poetry is always provisional and contingent — hence the provocative title. Witty, erudite, and rigorously honest, this volume offers an unparalleled window into the mind of a poet who reshaped the landscape of modern Italian literature.
