I canti d 'un raggio di sole [Songs of a Ray of Sunlight]. St. Louis: Fairmount Publishing, 1951.

One of several bi-lingual books of poetry in small, handsome format by what appears to have been the author's own Fairmount Publisher. Facing translations by C. Victor Stahl.

Unlike many other post-war Italian poetry publications in the U.S., which seem tired from a book arts perspective, Caradonna's work shows flashes of bibliographic creativity in a small format. Caradonna was a journalist and writer of, among other genres, poetry like this, and a member of the Italian left, according to literary historian Marcella Bencivenni.
