Synopsis

This Collection contains sixty poems written in free verses along thirty years, from 1976 to 2020. It is a mixing of sad, spiritual and love poems.
Like many poets I've fundamentally been a lonely man.
But at a certain time of his life, a poet needs to share knowledge and experiences with other poets. This time has come for me. I've been spending most of my seventy years searching the reasons why we are living here, on this earth, just in this space-time, sometimes feeling like trapped in my body, and in order to focus better my thoughts I started writing down my emotions. That's why I discovered my self as a poet. Now I want to understand what is a poet for.
I think a poet is a man who to answer to some questions. He is a mediator between God and man (or between Nature and man, we can say after Wordsworth, and don't want to be involved with such a n engaging matter as God).
I see the poet partly as a prophet and partly as a witness of his time. Of course a poet is a man like the others. As such he feels his own emotions and deals diary with love, pain, sorrow, joyfulness (only some days are for joy, unfortunately). But the poet is also an artist, which makes the difference. As any artist the poet utilises special tools to build up the handicrafts of his art. These tools, for the poet, are the form's devices, the meter, the rhyme, the rhythm and, of course, the words. The more he knows how to use these tools, the more the poet can hit answering in a fashioned form those funding questions which are essential part of the role he has to play in the society. It's worthless to add that the use of technical instruments is supposed to improve the result in terms of emotion and pleasure the reader expects to receive from poetry.
