Autor

Gëzim Hajdari was born in 1957 in Lushnje, Albania. As well as working in a variety of jobs, he was intensely involved in journalism and political activism in his native country. In 1992 he fled to Italy. He initially occupied the ruins of an abandoned building in Frosinone near Rome, but was awarded an apartment by the town council after he won the prestigious Eugenio Montale Prize. He writes in both Albanian and Italian, but is perhaps more recognised in his adopted country. His books include collections of essays and travel writing, as well as several volumes of poetry, which have been translated into several languages. He has two previous volumes in English, both from Shearsman Books.
