Brossura, 80 pages, 24x33 cm. From the epilogue by Giulio Cesare Cuccolini “The forest of Sanna is a vivid reality that the author knows only too well from years of familiarity with the poplar groves in the land where he lives. This autobiographical experience forms the basis for a story that may suggest the origin of life, the dawn of Man, the struggle for survival, Man's symbiosis with Nature or the reproduction of the species. And with all of this, there is a connotative environment that, upon close inspection, is reminiscent of the author's land of origin or reminds us of exotic contests interwoven with a continuous thread of expectation and an underlying sense of panic. The work can be read as a long poem or a collection of sonnets. In the first case, the story is the main focus, as if it were a long cartoon without text, while in the second, the spotlight is on the poetry that leaps out from each frame, like a series of single and unique art prints." |
