Purgatorio, the middle section of Dante’s great poem about losing, and subsequently finding, one’s way in the middle of one’s life, is the beating heart of The Divine Comedy. This translation by D. M. Black makes Dante’s powerful work clear. The climb up Purgatory is a journey of human limits and potential, guided by Virgil. Dante’s Purgatorio is full of human stories, philosophical inquiry, and themes of reintegration and healing. Black, a psychoanalyst and poet, provides an introduction and commentary from a contemporary perspective.
