Her work on ''I Modi'' has been praised and defended by such disparate organs as scholarly journals and the periodical ''Penthouse Forum''. She has published two collections of poetry: ''Wedding Night of A Nun''〔"Wedding Night of A Nun" (Review), Kirkus Reviews, Feb. 4, 1963, https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/lynne-lawner/wedding-night-of-a-nun/〕 and ''Triangle Dream'',〔 the latter "frustrating, brilliant, occasionally moving" according to Kirkus Reviews.〔"Triangle Dream" (Review), Kirkus Reviews, Feb. 26, 1968, https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/lynne-lawner-2/triangle-dream/〕 She won ''Poetry'' magazine’s Oscar Blumenthal Prize and later was invited to Yaddo. Her many translations of Italian poetry have appeared in journals such as ''Chelsea'', ''Yale Italian Poetry'', ''Italian Poetry Journal''. In spring 2010, her edition ''Painted Fire: Selected Poetry of Maria Luisa Spaziani'' was published by Chelsea Press, New York City. Evidence of her continuing engagement with contemporary political, social, and cultural concerns is contained in books such as ''Antonio Gramsci’s Letters From Prison'', originally commissioned by the Ford Foundation Translation Center, when ten American writers were chosen to render ten neglected works of world literature into English. A book-length introduction to Gramsci’s life and work is included. Originally published by Harper and Row in 1973, it was reprinted by Farrar Straus Noonday Press, translated into Korean, and is still being used as a textbook in many American universities. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lynne Lawner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
