Overview

"Angelo Lumelli's new book is the result of the rewriting of his poetic work. The author has defined the operation as a ""re-statement,"" which amounts to a new saying, an ever-losing struggle against the irrecoverable, the return to uncertainty, to its enormous and unsatisfied faith, to the nascent word, child of the voice. -Eugenio Gazzola, from the Introduction"
