The book "fast" by the American poet Jorie Graham was released on September 19th of this year, published by the publisher Garzanti. On 20 September at Villa Arrivabene, in Florence, the collection was presented in the presence of the author and the translator, Antonella Francini, who gave rise to a fascinating conversation, introduced by the literary critic Niccolò Scaffai.The credit for the initiative goes primarily to the comparative poetry magazine "Semicerchio", directed by Francesco Stella, at the U.S. Consulate. in Florence, which celebrates 200 years of the US presence in Tuscany, to the Municipality and the District Council 2.The volume has an extremely elegant appearance, it is of considerable interest for the themes considered, extremely topical, for the freedom with which the author deploys various and innovative forms of writing, for the role it outlines for the poet today, of profound responsibility in the face of the worrying processes of degradation of our planet. The collection presents, it seems to us, a unique character, not simply attributable to the label of civil poetry or eco-poetry...(Continues on Literary)Link to Literary 30 September
"FAST"
Giardino
globale
(da R. Mosi, Amo le parole. Poesie 2017-2023, Ladolfi Editore)
nello spazio infinito
tra luci di stelle in orbite
pulsanti verso confini dove
vive il tesoro di ogni perché.
Il
giardino non ha confini
nessuna
rete a limitare il passo
ogni vivente
l’attraversa
lo
sguardo libero l’abbraccia
da un
mare, da un monte all’altro.
Il
vento fattore di tanta
ricchezza,
raggiunge ogni lato
del
giardino, sparge nuova
vita,
semi, fiori, frutti
nel
canto frusciante di suoni.
Giardino,
rifugio di differenze
spazio
in movimento vitale
concatenato
intreccio d’insetti
alberi,
animali, compagni
instancabili
dell’uomo
passeggero
temporaneo
custode
di questa mescolanza
planetaria,
responsabile per
la
consegna di ogni dono ai futuri
abitanti,
nella Terra Giardino.

Global garden
(from
R. Mosi, I love words. Poems 2017-2023, Ladolfi Editore)
.
Our garden travels
in infinite space
among the lights of stars in orbit
buttons towards borders where
the
treasure of every why lives.
.
no net to limit the pace
every living thing passes through it
the free gaze embraces her
from
one sea, from one mountain to another.
.
The wind is a big factor
wealth, reaches every side
of the garden, spreads new
life, seeds, flowers, fruits
in
the rustling song of sounds.
.
Garden, refuge of differences
space in vital movement
concatenated tangle of insects
trees, animals, companions
tireless
of man
.
temporary passenger
guardian of this mixture
planetary, responsible for
the delivery of every gift to future people
inhabitants,
in the Garden Earth.
