Blown glass verses

The event is conceived and will be hosted by Susanna Tartaro, writer, editor and presenter of Fahrenheit, radio programme on Rai Radio 3. She introduces the event with these words:

What is poetry? May it be an indication not to fall into the traps of everyday life, to be able to see better and perhaps understand something more?

The strength of Valerio Magrelli's poetry lies in keeping one's balance by looking at the depths before us, by focusing with scientific precision on the places of the abyss. How to keep away from danger? How to stay alive? And how far have we come? Restoring an individual everyday life, which becomes collective, Valerio Magrelli uses his blown-glass word as a lens to look at himself and the world. The adventure of a reading conceived in dialogue with the installations of Arte Sella aims to make the force of his verses visible, and perhaps even tangible.
