Pity. What's happened?

Enjoying quite a bit Britt-Marie Was Here by Fredrik Backman!

I can immagine! The houses of my childhood and young age are both sold; and sometimes I think it's better this way!

Hi everybody!
I'm here to see if you could, by any chance, help me.
I'd need an official translation of the poems by Sandro Penna in English. Wednesday of next week there's an happening with a reading of some of his poems and I'm supposed to do the translation. Even if I know the English Language well, I don't pretend to be a literary translator and I'd love to read an official translation rather than an amateur one made by me.
Has any of you idea - or access to English libraries with this kind of books?
I know it's hard, but you never know

I've been suggested to read this essay Identity: The Demand for Dignity and the Politics of Resentment by the deputy Mayor for Culture I work wìith.
Anyone else interested?

As usual with Summer, I'm in a "mystery mood", but this year from all over the world: I'm reading Literary Murder from Israel, The Lavender Ladies Detective Agency: Death in Sunset Grove from Finland, and I've just finished The Windsor Knot set in Windsor Castle, with HM looking into matters with her own hands!!!!
