Voices | Antonio Porchia, William Stanley Merwin
3 posts | 1 read
Antonio Porchia (1886-1968) was born in Italy and immigrated to Argentina with his mother and six siblings upon his father's death. He first worked in the port of Buenos Aires as a basket weaver, and later purchased and operated a printing shop with his brother. Porchia never married, and lived a humble, solitary life in near poverty. Voices is his only book, which he revised and expanded throughout his life.
