Description

In this quietly powerful collection, the poet turns a war‑scarred world into a series of vivid, almost cinematic sketches. From a sunlit lake brushing against the ancient battlements of Can Grande’s castle to the restless rustle of black‑desked study rooms, each piece weaves present turmoil with echoes of distant battles. The verses move beyond simple reportage, using a fluid, multi‑voiced style that lets history pulse alongside personal reflection.

The book’s four poems are bound by a shared urgency: to make sense of conflict without surrendering to sentiment. By adopting a flexible “polyphonic prose” that shifts rhythm and tone, the poet captures both the clamor of the front lines and the lingering hum of everyday life. Listeners will find a thoughtful meditation on how war reshapes our landscapes, our memories, and the very language we use to describe them.
