Rivelazione

ALESSANDRO D'AGOSTINI
Rivelazione
«We were the first to produce poetry into pubs, discos, squares: and not by chance or for reasons of vanity, but for a specific poetic project. After years of dreadful elitist poetry, deliberately and useless incomprehensible, we support a poetry which tends towards clarity, and in doing so we strive to deliver messages on more levels».
ALESSANDRO D'AGOSTINI, from «Manifesto dei Giovani poeti d’Azione»

Vocio

MARIA DE LAUDE
Ascoltando il vocío di comare erba
Presentation and preface by Rita Levi-Montalcini
Edited and with an introduction by
Mirko Bevilacqua

«It is the story of a calling (to poetry) hidden away, censured for almost all her life […] not artless poetry as one would expect to receive from an uneducated woman, but sophisticated, often extraordinary verses. A flavoursome wild fruit to be picked without worrying about the stones».
PAOLO MAURI, La Repubblica

«[…] the journal of a heroine who has spent her life in a photographic dark room. A not softly voice borne into the opaqueness of silence and exploded in the light of a howl».
MARIA PIA TOSTI CROCE, L’Indice

«Definitely a literary work of great importance».

Poema

TONI MARAINI
Poema d’Oriente

«Toni Maraini has lived in Morocco for many years, and certain Arabic legends have become a part of her: they have modelled her punctuated rhythm of assonances, disparities and syncopations. […] Few certainties, perhaps a painful nostalgia, which are expressed through an effusive, fervid language, supported by pathos. The quality of the book, meagre yet rich in humour, lies in precisely this fervour which creates music».
ENZO SICILIANO, L’Espresso

«From Samarkand to Tangier, from the Atlantic to the burning Africa of Paul Bowles, the search into the Orient, or rather of everything east of us, becomes a metaphor for a deeper inward search of ourselves».
STEFANO SALIS, Il Sole 24 Ore

«[…] reinforces the predilection for the inner journey as self discovery and knowledge of the ‘other’ and, moreover, as a paradigm for questions and many replies».
ANNA BONINSEGNI, Poesia

Viaggiatore

GAGAN DANIELE PIETRINI
Il viaggiatore che non vuole sapere
Preface by Dante Maffia

«The journey of a soul torn between the offerings of two contradictory lives […]. An extremely complex book dealing with lofty themes, which endeavours to strip the perplexities from the tautology by establishing the kingdom of the rising of senses and beings. A clear and solid language, simple, at times elegant, but without self-congratulation or long-winded passages».

TEMPTATION
From the coloured veins of the alleyways
I fall into the rose and pale green mosque.
And a small and hunchbacked minaret.
Rolled up trousers, muscles
and strong, robust calves,
a ferocious guardian pulls me in.
For himself or for God?
