Paolo Ruffilli; Emanuel Di Pasquale

Opis

Poetry. Translated from the Italian by Emanuel di Pasquale. "A discreet connoisseur of Italian poetry of this century will quickly see in Ruffilli's verses the continuity of a noble tradition, made of refined poverty, of contracted music, up to the extreme limit of inaudibility, which reaches its high point in the poetry of Giorgio Caproni; and he will think, then, of certain tangents, even thematic, between the present story in Camera oscura and the unforgettable story of Annina in Seme del piangere. But just as easy, and certainly owed, will be to watch how Ruffilli works on his verbal and sentimental material with a sort of tenacity and 'scientific' impassibility, which is not Caproni's regarding how the very stillness of the photographic image constitutes a 'moving' and formal correlative." Giovanni Raboni, from his afterword"
