What surprised Quasimodo most was that, amidst all the U.S'.s material wealth, poets seem to sprout "everywhere."' But he still believes that the U.S. neglects its poets' social security. Said Quasimodo, whose poetry will get its first sizable English rendition in a book that will be published in the U.S. next month...
