LUCA LENZINI. INTRODUCTION TO "IL ROVETO"

  THE IRONY OF ROSES *Introduction to the collection Il Roveto (Troubador ublishing Ltd.,, 2005) by Luca Lenzini ABSTRACT: In his introduction to Il Roveto , Italian literary critic Luca Lenzini explores the intersection of experimental poetry and the New Baroque, tracing the collection’s distinctive logic as it weaves together diverse linguistic registers. We invite you to consider how this hybridized lyric idiom challenges conventional poetic boundaries and gestures toward a new form of cultural and poetic dialogue.

POESIA “Mise-en-abyme”

  POESIA “Mise-en-abyme” Disse una menzogna lieve: ogni parola detta divenne uno specchio, ogni specchio generò un altro specchio che all’infinito ripeteva il nesso. Così l’uomo, per non guardarsi in volto, visse nella copia di se stesso: un corridoio d’immagini che moltiplicava ogni suo gesto e nessuno di quei volti era più il suo vero volto. Alla fine non ricordò se la menzogna fosse nata per paura, per gioco, o distrazione.
