The pleasant surprise to be able to say “thank you”

The wonder that is accompanied with gratitude, it is always a surprise. Sometimes we imagine ourselves with our loved ones, neighbors or people in the fantasy stories and we look forward to live a life more intense. How many times have we dreamed of reliving the exploits of legendary heroes and historical figures to fit our desires, and how many times we, are happy, we foreshadowed a future yet to come, and perhaps impossible to achieve. And from everything we want originality tapping into what looks interesting, trusting to an imaginary audience. And then when it actually happens, the wonder is accompanied immediately with desired conceived and never confessed.

For a long time the works of Samanta Lai gravitated towards my feelings for both a playful vision is for the power to bring forth a true poetic sense. Two of his works became an integral part of two of my poems for the book “Mutual rebirths.”

Following do with unexpected, really not imagined, Samanta sent me a gift in his original work.

The emotion and surprise yet, invite everyone to a shared happiness for those who have interest, because the picture depicts an actress that I admire him for his commitment to civil and his interpretive skills. Vanessa Redgrave has always been an idol of mine, because through her work as an actress, she has worked as policy and to claim to full citizenship for all, playing movies with themes of civil and political rights. In particular I remember a film about imprisonment in concentration camps with her marked by blue and gray colors gradually tending to black, where with difficulty trying to survive her companions, she maintains until the end his own humanity. This tired face veiled by white and light gray tones and anemic, she looks a lunar landscape formed by bluish iron that it is composed of a firmament hard and unforgiving.

Despite everything, his face worn down by poverty and suffering in pain received, says the desire to look compassionate toward humanity of everyone. And the frown turns into a smile.

And then: thank you,  Samanta.

The beginning of the tale

Leave a comment

November 3, 2013

Here is the moment in which we begin to write relishing the idea that it is something exclusive. We imagine, however, that in one dimension the next someone to read the whole thing and alive. The initial moment to write a verse or a line of a likely novel, compelling, reappeared countless times.

Attempts and fantasies that they summon the immediate birth of the poem, multiply preparatory rites in making this first act that we have seen as safe, immediate and spontaneous. Some write preparing sheets, pens, dictionaries, or sitting at the computer, others in the most unthinkable during the daily chores.

The beginning: we imagine stories and verses of poetry. We are looking for places and get closer to the great classical writers, to be immediately petrified. The imagination runs in formulating plots and stories that quickly intersect with slices of our lives, most of the time lying and continually varying scenarios, believing it to have occurred. Or more simply with stubborn will, we want to create a new world. Then comes the block after two lines, or write us with hypnotic casting a line after the other as if we were talking to an imaginary audience.

We tell ourselves a story, with a beginning, a point of conflict, doubt, and we imagine an end to any recovery, or we try to follow the words by queuing a period after another, listening to the sound correlative. If we lose the magic of writing, our body again becomes heavy and it is void of words, as if the texture we were creating was evaporated; so we try to chase wrecks of thought that disappear like steam from a window in the winter that we have just breathed. It all comes back in the silence …. but we do not give up and even if we do not succeed in intent, we still dream with open eyes to start over.

What are you doing for the beginning? What are the rituals that you use in telling the tale of your experience (false or likely)? Which time and place you are looking to start?

Come rinascere da adulti senza arrecare dolore

 

After my first publication, the book of poems with images “Suspended Dreams”,  I come to another appointment with myself, to offer readers a new share of moods and events of everyday life, which I consider common each of us: “Mutual rebirths.”

The offer is discreet, because every revival that does not deny the past that involves peers. My guess is that any revival is always unanimous, and thus it may represent a genuine and radical transformation.

This collection of 50 poems that are accompanied by pictures, some in color, intended to stimulate and arouse in the reader thinking about the world, about human relationships and about the wonders that each human being carries with him.

The book in paperback version you can find it on Youcanprint: HERE and HERE on IBS

and in ebook format:

Amazon – mobi format: HERE
Feltrinelli – epub format: HERE
Ultima books – epub – mobi: HERE
