Edoardo Sanguineti, RIP

From the AP:

Edoardo Sanguineti, a poet, critic and intellectual whose playful use of language made him an important neo-avant-garde figure on Italy's 1960s literary scene, died on Tuesday in a Genoa hospital.

Doctors at Villa Scassi hospital said Sanguineti, 79, died there following emergency surgery for an abdominal aneurysm.

In the early 1960s, Sanguineti helped found and influence the so-called "Gruppo 63," in which experimental poetry explored what he considered the "dissolution" of daily language . . .
