Dance of the Equinox
Dance of the Equinox | Floriana Ferro
2 posts | 1 read
Winner of the Italian national literary prize Cardinal Branda Castiglioni in 2011. Now in English in her own translation, Dance of the Equinox explores the idea of poetry as means of cultural and political emancipation. Each of these short and fragmentary poems is a piece of a broken mirror, clues in a game of hermetic illusions. Some are meant to be read vertically, some horizontally, while others are designed to be understood by reading alternate lines. The result is a modern lyrical vision celebrating love, nature, the delirium of art, and the capacity of poetry to resist the alienating pressures of capitalist globalization.

I loved these. It‘s a quick read, but the poems are hard. It‘s wonderful for its tumultuousness—many short but some long. I‘m glad I grabbed this randomly out of a bookstore.

an intellect crosses mother-of-pearl
gates among clouds
forms substances floats
on muddy pools pursuit
of heavenly patterns mate
of birds contemplated
from this earth
