Anthony Hecht's Italian Journey

In collaboration with the Bogliasco Foundation.

A lecture by David Yezzi, Johns Hopkins University.

The poet Anthony Hecht returned from combat in WWII devastated by the horrors he had seen. Soon after, he established a lifelong connection to Italy that began with a move to the island of Ischia, and ended at the Bogliasco Foundation, where he wrote his final poems in 2004.
