        			&quot;Nowadays, it is becoming harder to distinguish between artistic and commercial life. The role of the artist has been reduced to his success or failure in commercial terms... these mass-produced voices are not those which will tell us whether we are heading for disaster and, if so, how to prevent it.&quot; Eugenio Montale speaking to Melinda Camber Porter in Milan in 1977 &quot;Montale also felt a kinship with the American poet T.S.Eliot (another disciple of Dante). Melinda Camber Porter has written that both poets possess similar styles and &quot;a common predilection for dry, desolate, cruel landscapes. Her interview with Montale offers the reader a candid view of the poet as he discusses with her some personal observations of his life and times.&quot; Canio Pavone, Professor of Italian Literature

        			Melinda Camber Porter (1953 - 2008) was born in London and graduated from Oxford University with a First Class Honors degree in Modern Languages. She began her writing career in Paris as a cultural correspondent for The Times of London. The Boston Globe describes her book, Through Parisian Eyes (Oxford University Press), as &quot;a particularly readable and brilliantly and uniquely compiled collection.&quot; She interviewed many cultural figures during her career including: Nobel Prize winners Saul Bellow, Gunter Grass, Eugenio Montale, and Octavio Paz; and many leading filmmakers and writers. Her novel Badlands, a Book-of-the-Month Club selection, was set on South Dakota&apos;s Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. It was acclaimed by Louis Malle, who said: &quot;better than a novel, it reads like a fierce poem, with a devastating effect on our self-esteem,&quot; and by Publishers Weekly, which called it, &quot;a novel of startling, dreamlike lyricism.&quot; A traveling art exhibition celebrating Melinda&apos;s paintings, curated by the late Leo Castelli, opened at the French Embassy in New York City in 1993. Peter Trippi, Editor of Fine Art Connoisseur magazine said: &quot;In our era of slickly produced images, teeming with messages rather than feelings, Melinda&apos;s art strikes a distinctive balance between the achingly personal and the aesthetically beautiful.&quot;
