Oppezzo Piera, THE GREAT FEAR
Some explanation and incentives on the day of the conference. The conference, as you saw in the program, moving a step behind the other on the stimulus of some verses of our poets-Genealogies, and allows for a fairly short (from ten to fifteen minutes), then called for the enlargement of the speeches (the debates).
to these issues, especially to go through the mirror of poetry, are, in order:
this divine short memory: where we deal with the theme of memory (and thus the fertility of the past, but also of time, mutation, transformation);
merged the woman under his shadow : where it enters the discourse of the shadow, the hidden part inside the obstacle, and how s / he can prevent, or cause;
think / I care about me more than I thought : the awareness of being there, have a time-space of their own and fell
walls / with all their internal loads and hot : the breaking of tradition, the separation from a past in some ways perhaps even comfortable (known boundaries), but profoundly limiting;
something, a firm Utopia, is about to bloom : a look ahead to the future, its uncertainty, our fears, our commitment (taking into account also the beautiful poetry in piera oppezzo exergy)
each session will be concluded by then reading of three poets who have deliberately chosen very different, in order to represent the wide horizon in which they move the poetic voices of women.
