In his memoirs and fiction, Primo Levi bore witness to the suffering of the Holocaust and books like The Periodic Table and The Drowned and the Saved are now recognised as classics of twentieth-century literature. Throughout his writing life, Levi also produced poetry and this volume collects together all his poems, including eighteen that have not previously appeared in book form. Short and spare, the poems employ the same courageous and steady gaze at the worst that can happen that illuminates his prose.… (meer)

In my opinion, this book is a must-read. That is all. ( )

I loved his poetry, meaningful and heartfelt. Just a touch of sinister which I love. I really enjoyed the metaphors, although I did feel a bit disorientated - as i think my brain does not compute the style as well as I would love to.

I absolutely LOVED this piece


CHESS

Only my enemy for all time,
The abominable black queen,
Has had nerve equal to mine
In helping her inept king.
Inept and cowardly mine too — that’s understood.
From the very start he crouched
Behind his row of plucky pawns,
Then fled across the chessboard,
Askew, absurd, with little stumbling steps.
Battles are not for kings.
But I!
If I had not been there!
Rooks and horses, yes, but I!
Powerful and ready, upright and diagonal,
Far-reaching as a catapult,
I pierced their defences.
They had to bow their heads,
The fraudulent, haughty black ones.
Victory intoxicates like a wine.

Now it’s all over,
The skill and hatred are spent.
A mighty hand has swept us away,
Weak and strong, cautious, wise and mad,
Whites and blacks every which way, lifeless.
Then, with a clatter of gravel, it threw us
Into the black wooden box
And closed the lid.
When will we play again?
