About Me:
Well, when I was nine I fell in love with this girl named
Beatrice and I've loved her ever since. She married another
man and then died so that didn't work out too well. Then, my best friend Guido was exiled and I felt bad because I was magistrate at the time. By the time I got him back in, he was sick and died. THEN, the black geulfs came to power and I had to go into exile. After all that, my most humbling moment (for sure) was backing off that il dolce stil nuovo tip. What was I thinking with that?
Turn offs: translations of my work (Ciardi, Pinsky, Merwin,
Mandelbaum, watch your backs!), the weather outside of
Tuscany

Who I Want to Meet:
Uh, people who believe in the separation of church and
state. Girls named Beatrice. People into ironical
punishments. And anyone who is currently working on a
dictionary.
