FRANCESCA GIRONI – Qualcuno l’ha già detto
Starting from the idea that perhaps every poem is an attempt to rewrite or respond to texts written by others, through opposition or emulation, the poet Francesca Gironi proposes a playlist of other people’s poems to which she will respond with her own texts, poetic correspondences with the living and with the dead, unconsciously twin poems. Because someone has already said it before us, and sometimes even better.
Friday, 21 March
G. Ceccarelli Library, Gatteo – 9:00 p.m.
ALESSANDRA RACCA – La tua risata di gola, poesie che se la ridono sotto i versi
An evening with the poet Alessandra Racca dedicated to humor in poetry, in all its declinations: smiling, sly, funny, comical, ironic, sarcastic, amused, funny and playful poets.
Tuesday, 15 April
Oratory of San Rocco, Gatteo – 9:00 p.m.
ROBERTO MERCADINI – Poesie sottopelle *
Poetry is not only the realm of the spirit and elevated feelings, but also of the flesh, of its warmth, of its weight; of the tongue, of the entrails, of the feet. Sublime, very tender, brutal poems have been written with the body and on the body, in the incessant hand-to-hand combat of poets with the word.
