Michael Palma’s translation of theInferno reproduces in contemporary English Dante’s intricate triple-rhyming terza rimaform, defying the conventional wisdom of literary commentators who long argued that it simply cannot be done. This spectacular feat of poetic artistry- \”accurate admirably clear, and readable\” (Richard Wilbur)-\”in capturing the sense, sound, and spirit of the original comes close to perfection\” (X.J. Kennedy).
