Saba gradually added to the volume, and new editions appeared in 1945, 1951, and 1961.
Saba once said that a poet is "a child who marvels at what happens to him when he grows up"; and, indeed, the spirit of the book is very close to adolescence.
Saba is generally ranked alongside the greatest of modern Italian poets, Eugenio Montale and Giuseppe Ungaretti.

 Amazon.ca: Books: The Stories and Recollections of Umberto Saba   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
This volume, winner while still in manuscript form of the Italo Calvino and PEN Renato Poggioli translation awards, gathers together diverse writings by long-neglected Jewish-Italian author Saba (1883-1957), whose short novel Ernesto is his only prose previously published in English.
In spare, realistic prose that makes even his fiction seem almost journalistic, Saba manages to convey great emotion and deep thought simultaneously.
Although only a fraction of his 600 poems have been published in the U.S., this excellent prose collection should gain him some of the recognition already won by his friends and fellow Italian writers Carlo Levi and Eugenio Montale.
